There are no throw away children!

Luke 12:6-7"Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Monday evening I had a dream and when I woke up this phrase kept repeating in my head, “there are no throw away children.” I won’t share all the details, but in my dream I had found a baby in an alley struggling to live in a pile of other babies who were not so fortunate.
As I ran around with this baby asking for help, the response was shocking. I heard “that is just a throw away baby”, “put it back”, “it won’t make it”. Something powerful rose up from the inside out and I began crying out, “there are no throw away children”.

Maybe someone has given up on you, maybe people told you that you can’t make it. Maybe you have been forgotten. Maybe you have given up on someone. Jesus says to you today, there are no throw away children. God can turn every circumstance around. He created you to LIVE life, not struggle through it. God creates all things for good and whether anyone else ever sees the gold within you, He does. Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

The baby girl in my dream lived, but she bore scars on her face. Scars are the evidence of healing and a reminder of what God has brought you out of. Hold on, what God has started He will complete. Just don’t give up. Run to Him and He will do His part. You are not forgotten, you are destined for greatest.
