Dear Loved One,
The people of Jesus' day lived under the brutality of Roman rule, diminishing their sense of human worth. So Jesus gave the example of little birds that were cheaply bought and sold to help them understand their own value to God. If not one of these relatively insignificant creatures is forgotten by God, He said, then think of the value God places on people.
"The very hairs of your head are numbered," He says. There's no way to count the hairs on a person's head without being intimately close and putting your hand upon them. Jesus is telling us, "Father God is that close to you. He knows every detail, and His hand is upon your life."
The psalmist says, "You...put my tears into Your bottle" (56:8). There's a spiritual quality to our tears--we've been wounded, rejected, or ashamed. There are tears of intercession and tears of repentance. The Lord takes note of every one. However alone you may feel, He's got you on His mind, loved one. You are of enormous value to God. He cares about every tear you shed, and He's closer than you or I can ever imagine.
