I'm now just another number in the system of "New Start". I made a phone call for Unemployment Benefits yesterday, while I am looking for a ministry opportunity. It took me a long time to get through and I was asked by a computer a series of questions before speaking personally to someone. Then the first question I was asked was "What is your social security number?" I didn't have it on hand. I'm just a number. But not to God!

JESUS HAS NO FAVOURITES, EXCEPT THAT I AM HIS FAVOURITE! Yes, I hate to tell you but He loves me the best. Well actually He loves and cares for everyone who comes to Him and all of a sudden you will realise that you are His favourite. I am not just a number in the system. Not just an insignificant dot in the universe. In Him I have my focus, my purpose, my significance in life. When my focus is on Him, I realise that He is looking at me, and genuinely interested in me. That's so alarming that I am drawn to Him even more. I love you, Lord!
