God is saying to you, \u201cYou are the apple of my eye, the treasure in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bible states, \u201cFor where your treasure is, there your heart will be also\u201d (Matthew 6:20-22). In the sight of God you are His treasure, and where His treasure is, there His heart is also. His heart is with you, yes, with you His treasure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">God wants you to know you are deep in the core of His heart and He is watching over you daily. His thoughts are with you. They are thoughts of good and not of evil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

You are the work of His hands, His own treasure. If you can put your trust in Him, you will see a transformation in your life. His hands are wide open towards you right now, He is waiting to embrace you, wanting to heal and set you free. If you are feeling alone, abandoned like there is no one to help, the Bible states that God is our Helper, He is the glory and the lifter of your head.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him<\/em>.

In Mark 4 we find the example of Jesus calming the storm\u2026.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;\">On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to His disciples, \u201cLet\u2019s go across to the other side of the lake.\u201d So after leaving the crowd, they took Him along, just as He was, in the boat, and other boats were with Him. Now a great windstorm developed and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped. But He was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke Him up and said to Him, \u201cTeacher, don\u2019t you care that we are about to die?\u201d So He got up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, \u201cBe quiet! Calm down!\u201d Then the wind stopped, and it was dead calm. And He said to them, \u201cWhy are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?\u201d They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, \u201cWho then is this? Even the wind and sea obey Him!\u201d (verses 35-41)<\/p>\n<p>We must stand firm in our faith and keep believing. We must go by faith and not by what we see. He is faithful and, in the end, we will have the victory!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heavenly Father, I thank You that there is no place that Your love can\u2019t reach&#8230;that there is no place that we can\u2019t find peace.
