You are Treasured
RISE UP WARRIOR, you are God’s treasured posession!
What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word, “treasure?” Most of the time, when people see treasure, they are overcome with infatuation … captivated by its beauty and worth. Once the infatuation wares off, most people take the worth of that treasure and sell it for something they think it more valuable. When we view ourselves as treasure in the eyes of the world, we will always feel less than and replaceable, however, when view ourselves as treasured in the heart and eyes of God, we will learn how beyond priceless we are. There’s a spiritual strength that clothes us when we know we are treasured by our Father in Heaven. We shouldn’t go one more day simplifying the power of being God’s prized possession!
“For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.” -Deuteronomy 7:6
When we read Deuteronomy in its context, we read about God’s declared faithfulness over the nation of Israel. God’s people needed reassurance in their hearts that they were still His treasured possession and because God had chosen them, He remained faithfully committed! While we aren’t this specific nation of Israel, we ARE God’s chosen people! We see this in John 3:16.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” -John 3:16
Do you know in your soul that you are God’s treasured possession? Do you feel anything less than cherished and treasured?
Do you feel like:
God doesn’t love you
God has more important things to do than be with you
Your past is too messy
You’ve been distant from God
You aren’t worthy of being chosen, loved, or treasured
Whether you feel one, two, or all of the thoughts above, I want to know that every single sentence listed above is a lie from the enemy. RISE UP WARRIOR, YOU are chosen (Deuteronomy 7:6) YOU are loved (John 3:16) YOU are fully known (Isaiah 49:16) and YOU are treasured by the King of Kings! There is nothing you have to do to be more treasured than you already are! Treasure is captivating because it’s unlike anything else! You, warrior are unlike anything else in this world because you are God’s son/daughter!
If you don’t feel treasured because you think God doesn’t love you, read and hold onto the truth of John 3:16 which says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” If you don’t feel treasured because you think God has more important things going on, read and hold onto the truth of Isaiah 41:10 which says, “Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” If you don’t feel treasured because you think your past is too messy, read and hold onto the truth of Isaiah 1:18, which says, “Come, let’s settle this, says the Lord, though your sins are scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are crimson red, they will be like wool.” If you don’t feel treasured because you feel ashamed, read, and hold onto the truth of 1 John 1:9 which says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all righteousness.” And Warrior, if you don’t feel treasured because you haven’t been treasured by others in your past and think you aren’t worthy of being loved, read and hold onto the truth of Isaiah 49:16 which says, “See, I have engraved you on the palm of my hands; your walls are before me.”
Luke 12:34 says, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Warrior, where are you searching to be loved, fully-known, and treasured? It’s time to RISE UP WARRIOR as unrivaled, irreplaceable, chosen, loved, cherished, and treasured diadems in the hands and heart of God! God calls you HIS (Isaiah 43). There is no one and nothing can separate you from the love of God. He loves you, because He loves you, because He loves you, and He chooses you because He treasures you! As you go throughout your week, RISE UP and declare God’s truth over your heart, mind, Spirit, and life!
Repeat after me, I _____ am treasured by the King of Kings! I ____ am chosen by the King of Kings. I _____ am endlessly loved by the King of Kings! Nothing can separate me from the love of God!
RISE UP WARRIOR and never forget whose son/daughter you are. This week, let God clothe you with favor as His treasured possession and walk in the confidence of being beyond priceless!
