Claimed.

God has branded me with this mark....He looks at me and calls me "mine." Nothing you can do can secure that claim..it is by His grace that we even have the knowledge of such love He has for us--all I can do is continually sing for God to open the eyes of my heart.

When things of our control keep falling through...the perceptions, opinions, and judgments people have of us, the image we've built, the inconsistency of that image, or simply just having a bad day..
....those moments are when God is patiently and continually reminding us of our true worth--our worth in HIM. A pure worth that takes place in God's kingdom, not our kingdom. That whisper of His that penetrates through all of the chaos and says "you are mine." Those are the moments that the love and grace of God become more clear than ever before--those times when all we can do is surrender and give up our paper tiger chase.

Rejoice today knowing that we have been claimed.

When we put our cares in His hands, He puts His peace in our hearts. ~Author Unknown
