Valuable and safe

The following is what an inmate recently shared in our Addiction Recovery Ministry Bible study at Cumberland County prison:

This is how I view my incarceration. When someone has something that is valuable and precious to them they lock it in a jewelry box or safe to keep it safe.  I believe God has locked me in prison because I am valuable and precious to Him. He knew this was the only way to keep me safe.”

Wow! Pretty insightful! Amazing how we can view our circumstances when our minds and hearts are clear and open to correction and change.

What about you? Where do you find yourself today that perhaps God has placed you, maybe not where you desire, but to keep you safe?

And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.” James 1:18b
