You Are Not Forgotten
My dear son,
Whether you are among people or quietly alone, you are precious to me. I want to tell you that gently tonight. The care that reaches even a little sparrow also reaches you.
I know you with the attentiveness expressed in counting every hair on your head. One person's response does not determine your worth. You are seen and known by your Father, down to the details.
Treat yourself with respect and rest in my love. Offer the same care to the people beside you. The Father who watches over you so closely is listening to your story. Let your heart relax now, and close your eyes in peace.
With all my love,
Your Father
Matthew 10:29–31
WEB29“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
A short reflection
Jesus uses sparrows and numbered hairs to assure his disciples of God's attentive care and their great worth to him.
