sands They Outnumber the Sand

Have you ever felt like some days nobody thinks about you? I mean, no calls, no emails, no texts, no “I was just in the neighborhood” visits, nothing that says someone is thinking about. I have felt this way many days. It seems when I feel that way, I am drawn to David’s lyrics in Psalm 139:17-18: 

“How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I wake, I am still with you.” 

When you feel like nobody else is thinking about you, I want you to remember that our heavenly Father is thinking of you. His thoughts about you are highly valued, prized, splendid, and precious. Thoughts like:

I love you

No weapon formed against you will prosper

My plans are not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future

I am your shepherd; you shall not want

I am your light and salvation

I will never leave you nor forsake you

Greater is Me that is in you than he that is in the world

Cast all your cares upon me; I care about what happens to you.

I will renew your strength

I love you so much that I gave my only Son to die for your sins so that we could be together

What God-thoughts are you drawn to when you feel like nobody is thinking about you?
