April 22, 2020 – Not a Statistic

Not a Statistic

You are not simply a statistic. You are not just an isolated person, or just a case of COVID-19, or just an unemployed person, or just one who is depressed, or just a member of the human race during a pandemic; no, you are individually known and loved by the God who created the galaxies. He is reaching out to you right now. He knows your name and every detail of your life. He sent His Son to die for you. You are special to your Creator, if not to anyone else in the world. Pick up a Bible (or let me know if you don’t have one), and read His truth. You are known and loved infinitely.

– Shelli Prindle

O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.” (Psalm 139:1, 7-10)
