Branded

Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.

 

As I went to reach for the chocolat ice cream I purchased earlier in the day at the grocery store, I noticed that it had been marked by my son, Richard.

It made me laugh as this was probably his form of claiming the ice cream to himself. 

I  thought about the Lord as I was looking at this, how He has called us by name and how we are the apple of His eye.  We are made in His image, and we are a royal priesthood.  Many verses came to my mind.

I also thought  how the Lord has the hairs on our head numbered, and how much he loves us.   He loves us so much that he sent His son to die for our sins.

I was not upset about the initial on the ice cream, I rejoiced as the Lord affirmed His love for me.

Rejoice today, the Lord has claimed you as His own!
