No Fear - Is. 43:1-7

"But now, O Israel, the Lord who created you says, "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt, Ethiopia, and Seba as a ransom for your freedom. Others died that you might live. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you." Is. 43:1-7

Some words should not be tainted by human commentary. I am simply speechless.

God, thank you for these promises. Thank you for loving me this much.

Today's reading: Is. 43-45; 1 Pet. 4
