I HAVE CALLED YOU BY NAME, YOU ARE MINE. No matter how isolated you may sometimes feel, you belong to Me! I have redeemed you by paying the full penalty for your sins. Nothing can separate you from My loving Presence. I called you to Myself in the most personal way, reaching down into the circumstances of your life, speaking into the intricacies of your heart and mind. Although I have vast numbers of followers, you are not a number to Me. I always speak to you by name. In fact, you are so precious to Me that I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.
When world events are swirling around you and your personal world feels unsteady, don't let your mind linger on those stressors. Tell yourself the truth. "Yes, this world is full of trouble, but Jesus is with me and He is in control." It is but this, the Jesus factor, that makes all the difference in your life. Change the subject from problems to My Presence many times daily by whispering, "But Jesus ..." and looking to Me.
- Jesus
