RHAPSODY OF REALITIES,

TOPIC: HE LOVES YOU PERSONALLY
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30)
When we say, “God loves you,” what does that even mean to you? What is love? Love is that endearing value of a person that gives you a sense of his or her importance to you as the object of your favour. Therefore, that God loves you means you’re special and valuable to Him.
You’re so valuable to Him that He takes a record of even the hairs of your head. Jesus said every hair of your head is “numbered”; notice He didn’t say, “counted.”* That means every strand of hair from your head has a code number from God; none of them falls off without Him recording it.
This is the care of God for each one of us. If you understand His love for you, all that crying and feeling sorry for yourself because of what you are going through, will be unnecessary. You’d give no room to selfishness and greed.
He cares so much for you. He loves you personally, in particular.
1 Corinthians 12:27 says, “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” The word, “particular” is meros” (Greek), which means individual parts, definite parts. The Amplified Classic version says, “Now you [collectively] are Christ’s body and [individually] you are members of it, each part severally and distinct [each with his own place and function].”
Ephesians 5:29 says, “For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church.” This is wonderful. With all the fear and discouragement in the world today, the Lord is bringing you this message as an indication of His love for you. He’s nourishing you through His Word to lift your spirit and strengthen your faith, because He cherishes you. You’re special to Him.
The Bible says, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…”(1 John 3:1). The word “bestowed”* also means “lavished” the Father has lavished His love on you. It’s love without limits. Glory to His Name forever!
PRAYER
Righteous and loving Father, thank you for loving me with an everlasting love. Your arms of love are ever outstretched to embrace me, and your love for me is unconditional and eternal. I walk every day in, and with, the consciousness of your unfailing love, even as I’ve become a vent of your liquid love to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
Romans 8:35-38 TLB
Who then can ever keep Christ’s love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or destroyed, is it because he doesn’t love us anymore? And if we are hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, has God deserted us?
36 No, for the Scriptures tell us that for his sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day—we are like sheep awaiting slaughter;
37 but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us enough to die for us.
For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels won’t, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God’s love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow,

RHEMA FOR TODAY.
Say these with me, “I am loaded with good things! I am a custodian of divine verities; therefore, good things flow through me.
I am filled with the maximum load of God; His joy, peace, prosperity, love, kindness, and righteousness, flow through me to my world.
I am one with the Father, when men see me, they see God. Hallelujah! I am not ordinary; I refuse the down life, I refuse to see the problems and lapses in this world.
I live the higher life; for I am from the government of heaven. I am in Christ; I live above this world’s systems. It doesn’t matter the circumstances in the earth realm; I am not of the earth. I live and walk my way upwards from glory to glory.
I am blessed and fortified in Christ Jesus with everything I need for life, and godliness; therefore, I live triumphantly today and always! I walk in the glory of God, pleasing Him in all things, and fruitful in every good work.
The Lord has made my life pleasant; I am a delightsome land, a tree of righteousness, producing fruits of righteousness. Glory to God. Hallelujah!”
God bless you
