MOST LITTLE boys and girls have a favorite toy or doll. Here are Jeanette’s favorite toys. One is a walking and talking doll, and it can skate too. The little one is a Scotch doll, and the other is an alligator that holds Jeanette’s pajamas.
Most of us have favorites of one kind or another. Sometimes school teachers have favorites, and even some parents have a favorite son or daughter, but God doesn’t have favorites in that way. He doesn’t love some of us a little less than someone else because we don’t have a pretty face or more winning ways. He loves each one, and He loved you so much, dear reader, that He sent His own dear Son to die for your sins.
God’s thoughts about you are more in number than the sand. Did you ever count the grains of sand on the beach? Well, God’s thoughts about you are greater than all the sand on all the seashores of this world. We read in Psalm 139:17,1817How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. (Psalm 139:17‑18): “How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand.”
