The
Apple of His Eye
BY HEART OF WORSHIP
The Lord our God orchestrates
wonderful adventures for us every single day. He longs to go through the
day fellowshipping with us.
He waits to be
invited into our daily routine, into our plans and into all the
in-betweens. He desires us to be aware of Him every step of the way.
Can you imagine He never sleeps
nor slumbers and watches over you and me 24/7?
We are the apple of His eye
that whoever touches us touches the very core and center of His eye. (Zechariah
2:8)
Hmmmm … try poking someone’s
eye and you will find out how sensitive and delicate it is. Then you’ll
know that’s how precious we are to Him that whoever hurts us hurts His
eye more that you and I could ever dare think or imagine.
He sees us of great
worth and His mind is full of us.
Yes, this
is who we are in Him, precious possessions paid by the Blood of His only
Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, just so we can be His forevermore … just so no one
can ever separate us from Him and His love for us, whom He cherishes above all.
I
used to think that being the apple of the eye of the one who loves you simply
means that his eyes and thoughts are just for you.
I never thought that the Word
of God carries the significant meaning and origin of this phrase. It
is much more than just thoughts.
What matters to you matters
most to Him in every way. What hurts you, hurts Him. What delights you,
delights Him.
What a powerful
revelation indeed this is and once revealed, He invites us to
explore.
Once
we experience what this means and how much you and I mean to Him, He
deploys us to make this revelation realized in other people’s lives.
When we see His hand of favor
in our lives, it becomes a platform for us to extend His favor to others.
We are BLESSED to be a
BLESSING, FAVORED to show FAVOR, LOVED to pour LOVE on others. We are not
the final destination of His goodness.
Instead, we are the
distribution center of His grace, mercy and truth, co-laboring with Him to make
this world not just a better place to live in but a place with a “heaven on
earth” atmosphere, making Him known as a Father Who lavishes His children with
His great love.
I
was on a road trip with two of my dear friends. Our first stop was in a
gas station where both of them wanted to buy something from the convenience
store.
I was off to use the toilet and
much to my surprise, the toilet looked like that of a hotel’s, sparkling clean
and smelling fresh.
Then, I saw the cleaning lady
in and out of there doing her usual chore.
I
felt a strong prompting in my heart to bless her and appreciate what she
is doing. I called her to give her something and as I handed it to
her, how her eyes lit up with joy.
I asked her name to
address her personally and asked her, too, if I could pray for her. She
said YES!
Though there was another woman
who came in to use the toilet, it didn’t stop me from declaring and
decreeing a blessing upon the cleaning lady.
When it
was over, I gave her a hug and left. As I was on my way out, she
whispered, “I hope you’ll come by again.”
That just melted my heart.
A
little gesture may mean nothing to us but could mean everything to someone
else. Our identity being the apple of God’s eye cannot just be contained
to ourselves.
The JOY in us that is brought
about by this powerful revelation surely will overflow through us, creating an
atmosphere of acceptance and recognition to those who see themselves unnoticed,
unrecognized and unaccepted.
Once they taste and see how
good our God is, then it will cause them to do the same to those around
them. And we all shall give glory to the One to Whom glory is due.
Our
God is the greatest author and networker of all and His greatest desire is to
cover the earth with His goodness through you and me.
If it is in your heart to sign
up for it, it all starts with inviting and receiving the greatest gift of all,
Jesus Christ, to be your Lord and Savior.
He is The Way, The Truth and
The Life. and your life will never be the same again.
I am a
lover of Jesus Christ.
I am a resting place of the
Holy Spirit.
I am Daddy God’s beloved.
I desire
to know JESUS more and make HIM known by diffusing the fragrance of the
knowledge of His love through revelations that may be welcomed into your open
hearts as fertile grounds for the incorruptible seed of the Word of God to
grow.
“I BELONG TO MY LOVER AND HIS DESIRE IS FOR ME.” Song of
Solomon 7:10
