If I'm not special to God,
then why is my personal relationship
with Him important?

If I'm not special to God,
then why did He send Jesus to earth
as a baby, Emmanuel-God with us?

If I'm not special to God,
then why did He watch as Jesus was flogged,
beaten so severely that no one recognized Him?

If I'm not special to God,
then why did He “stand by” as Jesus,
the only sinless man to ever walk earth,
was nailed to a cross and
blood and water was poured out from Him?

If I'm not special to God,
then why did He die in my place?

If I'm not special to God,
then why did He do all these things for a sinful woman,
for a sinful man, for a sinful world?

Why? If we aren't special to God, then why?

I am special to God.
I am His Beloved.
I am special to God.
I am His child.

We are special to God.
We are His Beloved.
We are special to God.
Are you His child?

We are special to God.
He sees our joy and laughter.
He sees our pain and tears.
He wants to be our everything.

We are special to God.
He made us in His image.
We are special to God.
Is He special to you?
