Treasured by Our Heavenly Father
While they were camping under a mountain God tells his people on their Exodus they are His treasured children. Though they were on a hard journey that would take longer than any of them could imagine, God tells them He will carry them as on eagle’s wings. Much later, Jesus spoke this same sort of promise to Peter, Andrew, James, John, and the other disciples who would need to be brave and confident in the challenges they would face. “The Kingdom of Heaven is near,” Jesus said, “Freely you have received, freely give.”
