A reminder

PSALM 8 NIV

For the director of music. According to gittith [a].
A psalm of David.

1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise [b]
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers, the moon and the
stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?

5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings [c]
and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet:

7 all flocks and herds, and the
beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic
is your name in all the earth!

What a wonderful psalm this is. When I think of verse four I am reminded of the sacrifice Jesus made for me, a sinner. I think of how wonderful it will be one day to see Him face to face and thank Him for dying a most horrible death on the cross, just for me.

So I wanted to share this with you. It is a cross necklace that was given to me on my birthday in 2003. I've only taken it off three times since I got it. It reminds me of the price that was paid for me, one that I can never repay. Even though I fail in my walk more often than I succeed, I am thankful that I am a child of God. That He will never forsake me. Ever.
