“To you then who believe (who adhere to, trust in, and rely on Him) is the preciousness; but for those who disbelieve [it is true], The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the main Cornerstone,” 1 Peter 2v7 (AMP)
Unto those of us who believe in Jesus, He is precious. www.dictionary.com has some definitions of precious: “of high price or great value; very valuable or costly; highly esteemed for some spiritual, nonmaterial, or moral quality; dear; beloved; affectedly or excessively delicate, refined or nice.” To us who believe in the Lord, He is precious. I am reminded of the parable of the pearl. Matthew 13v44-45 (NIV) says “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” What we have in Jesus is precious, that we give everything for it and follow Him.

“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold – though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. You love Him even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1v6-9 (NLT)
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You so much for Your Word. Thank You Jesus for everything. You are Precious and You are True, Lovely and my Saviour. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be glorified forevermore in Jesus name, amen.
How are you doing? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.
