“I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3).
God does not create souls and simply cast them into the world to struggle alone, lost among the crowds. He plans each life with care, attention, and purpose. The Lord knows us by name, follows our every step, and loves us so personally that, if you were the only human being on earth, His love for you would be neither greater nor lesser. That is how He treats His own—individually, deeply, and intentionally.
And it is precisely because of this personal love that He calls us to follow the magnificent Law of God and His extraordinary commandments. The Father’s plan is not vague or generic; He guides each soul along the paths He established from the beginning. All the prophets, apostles, and disciples understood this and lived in obedience, because they knew that God reveals His plans only to those who walk in faithfulness. Obedience is the practical way to respond to divine love and also the path by which the Father sends each faithful servant to the Son to receive forgiveness and salvation.
Therefore, remember daily: you are not lost in the crowd. God sees you, guides you, and loves you personally—and He waits for your heart to respond with obedience. Life gains clarity, purpose, and direction when we decide to walk in His commandments, knowing that each faithful step brings us closer to the destiny the Father has planned. Adapted from J.R. Miller. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, thank You because Your love is personal, deep, and constant. You know me by name and direct every detail of my life.
My God, help me to respond to Your love with faithfulness, walking in Your commandments as the servants who came before us did. May I never forget that obedience is the safe path You have prepared.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You because You planned my life with purpose and love. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the perfect direction for my path. Your commandments are the expression of Your care for me. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
