Most little boys and girls have a favorite toy. It might be a truck or an airplane or a doll or something else. I’m sure if you would ask your daddy and mommy if they can remember their favorite toys, they would say, “Yes,” and they could probably tell you what it was.
Most of us have favorite things or favorite friends. Sometimes school teachers have favorite students. And some parents might have a favorite son or daughter. However, God does not have favorites like we do. He does not love some of us a little more than others. He loves each one of us so much that He sent His own Son Jesus to die for us.
Have you ever tried to count the grains of sand at the beach? What a high number that would be! But God’s loving thoughts about you are a much higher number than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of this world added together! The Bible tells us this in Psalm 139:1718: “How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand.”
Now, can you count how many loving thoughts about God and His Son Jesus you have had today?
