You Are A Nugget of Gold

The Lord spoke to me the other day and said I should let you know that in His eyes He sees you as a nugget of gold.  To Him you are highly valuable.  Gold is a relatively rare element.  The Lord says I should tell you that you a rare gem, you are worth dying for; this is why He sent His Son to die for you.  He said He came to seek you out so you might be free and have abundant life.  In 1 Peter 2:9, the Bible calls us a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people...we are God’s special people, you are chosen and you are special.  He says He loves you with an everlasting love, although you might not know or feel it, His love for you is constant and unwavering.  He says, “I love you just the way you are, I chose you, I predestined and appointed you.  You are my nugget of gold.” 

^“ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”        (1 Peter 2:9-10)

You are chosen, you are royal, you are holy and you are special.  You see, you are important to God, you are not a mistake, you are not insignificant, and you are not without purpose.  He created you for a purpose; He chose you and made you His own special person.  You are highly valuable.  You are a nugget of gold.  He called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.  How wonderful is that!  I pray you are comforted and reassured by the fact that you were created for a purpose and for such a time as this.  Your purpose is to make the world a better place.  You were created to beautify the world, you are a gift to humanity, a nugget of gold, a rare gem and He sees you as beautiful.  You were created in God’s image.  The Bible says in Genesis 1:26-28:

²⁶ Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” ²⁷ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. ²⁸ Then God blessed them,...”

The Bible says, “Then God blessed them,...”  You are blessed!  You see, God has already blessed and given you dominion; all you need to do is receive your blessing by faith and thank Him in the midst of your pain, thank Him in the midst of your tears, thank Him that He has already blessed you.  In good and bad times give Him thanks.  I know things may not be easy right now and it is difficult to give thanks when you are going through a lot, but giving God thanks in the midst of trouble is what opens the door of blessing into our lives.  This is what turns our disappointments into blessings.  

The Bible says, “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)  I pray you will not be discouraged and cast away your confidence.  Don’t listen to the lies of the devil, you are already blessed.  The devil is a thief and the Bible says the thief has come to steal, to kill and to destroy.  “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)  You must not let the devil steal your joy, your vision, your purpose and your destiny.  I pray that your destiny will not be cut off and that you will have abundant life in Christ Jesus.

Thus says the Lord to you:

“I justified you, I created and fashioned you.  You are beautiful in my eyes, you are not ugly, none of mine are ugly, so stop looking down and thinking negative thoughts of yourself.  Stop thinking like there is no hope for tomorrow.  I am with you through the thick and thin, I am with you when you are in the valley, I am with you when you are lonely, I am with you when you feel rejected and abandoned, I am with you at all times and I have made a way out for you, put your trust in me and don't doubt.  When I call out to you, I wish you would listen and just obey instead of doubting and not believing.  I am here to help and deliver you from every affliction of the devil.  I have made a way for you where there seems to be no way.  You are my nugget of gold; I cherish and love you more than anything.  You are mine and I watch over you all the time.  I have given my Angels charge over you to keep and watch over you night and day. 

Do you not know that the devil is jealous of you and tries to discourage you because he knows I will give everything for you?  Don’t believe those negative voices you are hearing, that is the voice of the evil one, cast it out and don’t receive it.  Reject those voices and don’t entertain them.  There is a way out of the darkness.

Today, I want you to know that you are worth much more than many sparrows; you are my nugget of gold. I am still working in you, you are not perfect at all, but I am perfecting everything that concerns you, so be patient, I am working it all out for you. Like gold, you are malleable in my hands. I am moulding and shaping you into what I want you to be. You are mine and I love you just the way you are. I want you to be yourself and not criticize yourself. Be yourself and don’t be like someone else. I am in you and you are in me. You are my nugget of gold and I love and cherish you just for who you are!"

My scripture for you is in Psalm 9:9-10,

"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You."

God bless you as you continue to stand in these troubled times.
