Today I want to share a story with you that you may have heard before and I may have previously shared it!

There once was a boy who made his own little toy wooden boat. Day in and day out he worked on it carefully and lovingly carving it to be just the little boat he had imagined.

He painted it a beautiful brown taking extra care with the various colors for trimming and set it on the windowsill to dry.

The next day the little boy took his little boat out to sail in on the river. He admired it, how beautiful it was, and he watched it floating on the water.

The boat began to drift further and further away from shore and soon it was out of his reach. His precious boat was gone, and this made him incredibly sad. Would he ever see the little boat again?

The little boat was always on his mind. Every day, he wondered if this would be the day he would find his little boat on the shore. He knew he would do whatever it would take to get it back home again.

One day while walking down the street, to his delight, he noticed his little boat in the store shop window. He went in to ask the storekeeper about the boat.

Though the little boy had made the boat, the storekeeper insisted he would have to pay the full price for the boat if he wanted to take it home.

The boy realized it would take everything he had, his every penny. Was he willing to pay the price? Yes! The boy ran home and got all his money, every cent, and paid the storekeeper the full price for the boat.

The boy was overjoyed and said to his little boat – “You are mine, twice over. – First, I made you and now I bought you though it cost me everything I had. You are forever mine.”

May I tell you that Jesus made you and bought you back with His precious sinless blood on the Cross of Calvary!

You are twice His! He gave all He had to pay the price for redemption of fallen mankind!

You were known by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit before the foundation of the world! You are not an accident, a mistake, a failure, or a misfit!

You are unique; a one of a kind Masterpiece!

His way is the better way and His plans are perfect!

You are not forgotten or forsaken!

Isaiah 43:1 (KJV)
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Isaiah 43:7 (KJV)
Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

May you never forget that Jesus twice owns you!

The enemy comes to destroy you, but Jesus came to give you abundant life!

John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You are the Apple of His Eye; He calls you Beautiful!

He Loves you with an everlasting Love!

Walk in the Truth that you are a Beloved Child and have a Glorious inheritance!

YOU ARE TWICE HIS!
