YOU COUNT=OH YES YOU DO!

 










YOU COUNT=OH YES YOU DO!


Have you ever felt

EXCLUDED from a group of friends

Or a group of peers

That you really wanted to BELONG to?


I am SURE that you have=I have-we

ALL have-even Jesus was rejected

By his home town and his own people


But OUR God stands with you

He stands with all=he INCLUDES everyone

Even the poor and the “nothings”


YOU COUNT for something

You are SOMEONE=you are INCLUDED

In the kingdom of God


“........God chose the lowly

And despised of the world

Those who count for nothing

….....” 1 Corinthians 1:28


STAND with God-for he-

Will stand FOREVER with you


“I will declare

That your love stands

FIRM FOREVER


That you have established

Your faithfulness in heaven itself” Psalm 89:2


You COUNT-oh YES you do!=

In the kingdom of God-

And in the world of heaven itself


“You will be hated

By everyone-because of me


But the ONE

Who STANDS FIRM to the end

Will be saved” Matthew 10:22


STAND FIRM with God-stand firm

With Jesus-He will stand by you

UNTIL the end of time


“Nevertheless-God's SOLID foundation

STANDS firm

Sealed with this inscription:


'The Lord KNOWS those

Who are his'-and-

'Everyone who confesses

The name of the Lord

MUST turn away from wickedness'” 2 Timothy 2:19


There are NO nothings

There is no one who

Does not matter

In the EYES of the Lord

You are SPECIAL-you are INCLUDED


OUR God is an INCLUSIVE God-

A God who LOVES US ALL


DON'T ever let anyone tell you

That you do not matter

That you are nothing


THESE are the ONES our God

Our Jesus CHOOSES=he keeps us

IN his company=he chooses us

He COUNTS us as special


“You did not choose me

But I CHOSE YOU-

And appointed you


So that you might go

And bear fruit-

FRUIT that will last-


And so that whatever

You ASK in my name

The Father will give you


This is my command:

LOVE ONE ANOTHER” John 15:16


“But we ought ALWAYS

To thank God for you-

Brothers and sisters-

LOVED by the Lord


Because God CHOSE you as his first fruits

To be saved

THROUGH the sanctifying work

Of the SPIRIT


And through BELIEF in the truth” 2 Thessalonians 2:13


So WHOEVER you are in this world

YOU COUNT-You are SOMEONE SPECIAL

In this world


OH YES YOU ARE!-

Forever in Jesus' name
