God made us. The LORD made us with care while we were still in our mother's womb (Psalm 139:13-16). He gave us a reason to live and a promise that He would be with us every step of the way. God takes care of us more than even the best shepherd takes care of his sheep. So let's live like we know our Leader, who made us and is our King. Let's show what kind of person He is, how gracious He is, how merciful He is, and how forgiving He is. Let's show that we belong to Him!

Prayer

I am so glad that You are God, dear LORD. Thank You for being my Shepherd, my Dad, and my Hero. Give me the strength I need to show others Your goodness and character. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
