You are precious in my eyes, and honored,
and I love you.
Isaiah 43:4
 


Everyone who breathes,
high and low, educated and ignorant,
young and old, man and woman, has a mission.
We are not sent into this world for nothing,
we are not born at random.
God sees every soul. He deigns to need every one of us.
