Zechariah 12:1 NIV

“The LORD [is the one] who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person...”

The same one – the same mind — that created the entire universe also specifically created you.

You are infinitely important (because he is infinite!) to the one who created this entire universe. He specifically created you to be YOU in his creation. Forever! But there is a real you that is in his image that he is transforming you into. That’s what your life is about. That’s the bigger story your life is in in every single moment.

CS Lewis (Mere Christianity)

“God has infinite attention, infinite leisure to spare for each one of us. He doesn't have to take us in the line. You're as much alone with Him as if you were the only thing He'd ever created.”

Revelation 2:17 (NIV)

“To the one who is victorious [those who remain true to Jesus’s name - 2:13], I will give …that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it [i.e., unique to the one who receives it].”
