I am treasured...

Deuteronomy 26: 17-19

"You have declared this day that the LORD is your God and that you will walk in his ways, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws, and that you will obey him. And the LORD has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised."

I am reading my way through Deuteronomy right now, it is full of laws...omg, I am so glad we do not have to live by all of these laws now. This verse did strike me though.....I am HIS treasured possession. You know if I treasure something, I give great value to it and if I possess it, it is mine. I am so comforted by the fact that I am treasured and I belong to God.
