Matthew 10: 26-31
But don't be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything will be revealed; all that is secret will be made public. What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ears, shout from the housetops for all to hear!
Don't be afraid of those who want to kill you. They can only kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, Who can destroy both soul and body in Hell. Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to Him than a whole flock of sparrows.
O my Father, thank You for valuing me so highly. Your care for me surpasses all the care of everyone on Earth who has ever cared for me, all together!
You have begun this good work in me, and You are performing it to perfect me. You are continuing to make progress in me and in my life, and You will eventually complete it when I am finished, when Jesus returns.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
