Odd Bird Out!

Mat 10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Luk 12:6  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

Jesus wanted to teach us a very important lesson, and He decided to use a bird to make His point. What bird did He use? The eagle, majestic and beautiful? NO! What about the dove, or the exquisite peacock? NO! Jesus knew the problems that would plague His people. He told of the sparrow. Now the sparrow was the most common of birds. They sold roasted sparrow on every street in those days. And people could buy them for a little bit of nothing. And what’s more? It was buy 4 and get the 5^th one free!

Then Jesus told them, not one sparrow falls to the ground without God knowing it. He valued every sparrow. And He values you even more!

Luk 12:7  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

God wants you to know how precious you are to Him! Regardless of what you have been through in life that made you feel worthless, He wants you to know, you matter to Him. He sees great value in you. When you know how valuable you are to God, you will stop living in fear of what others think of you.

God loves you. He desires you to open up your heart to Him. Let Him love you. You have searched your whole life for someone to love you. He has been waiting your whole life for you to LET Him love you. Do it today!
