“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
— Jeremiah 1:5
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
— Psalm 139:13–14
Before you spoke a word, He knew you.
Before you took a breath, He loved you.
Before you lived a single day, He had already dreamed of you.
You are not an accident.
You are a deliberate, deeply loved creation of the King of Heaven.
He didn’t simply allow you to exist — He wanted you.
He crafted you.
Every fiber of your being was knit together by His hands, woven with love and infinite attention.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made because He treasures you.
Do We Treasure Him in Return?
As staggering as it is to realize that the God of all creation treasures us, there’s a question that stirs the heart:
Do we treasure Him in return?
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
— Matthew 6:19–21
If He loved us enough to create us, to call us by name, to walk with us through every moment of life —
where is our treasure?
Where is our heart?
It’s easy to invest ourselves in earthly things — money, approval, success, comfort.
But none of these will last.
One day, everything that seems so urgent now will vanish like mist.
Only the treasures we lay up in heaven will remain.
When we realize how deeply we are loved — how highly we are valued — it stirs something inside us:
a longing to treasure Him above all else.
Not out of guilt.
Not out of duty.
But out of love.
Because when your heart treasures God — the One who first treasured you — you begin to store up a different kind of treasure:
the kind that can never be stolen, never rot, never fade.
A Place for Your Heart
Today, pause and remember:
You are loved more than you can imagine.
You are treasured by the Maker of heaven and earth.
And in return, treasure Him.
Lay up your treasure where your heart was meant to be — in His hands.
If this encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs to be reminded: You are deeply treasured. ❤️
