SO PRECIOUS TO ME

Scripture: 1 Peter 2:7 “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,”

     Charles H. Gabriel penned the words to a familiar song that we often sing.  “So precious is Jesus, my Savior, my King; His praise all the day long with rapture I sing; To Him in my weakness for strength I can cling, For He is so precious to me.
    For He is so precious to me, For He is so precious to me; ’Tis heaven below, my Redeemer to know, For He is so precious to me.
    He stood at my heart’s door ’mid sunshine and rain, and patiently waited an entrance to gain;  What shame that so long He entreated in vain, for He is so precious to me.
    I stand on the mountain of blessing at last, No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast, His smile is upon me; the valley is past, For He is so precious to me.
    I praise Him because He appointed a place Where someday, through faith in His wonderful grace, I know I shall see Him, shall look on His face, For He is so precious to me.”
    Noah Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines “precious” as 1. Of great price; costly; as a precious stone. 2. Of great value or worth; very valuable.  She is more precious than rubies. Proverbs 3:15.  3. Highly valued; much esteemed.
    Surely our Lord is of great worth to every believer.  His precious blood was so valuable that it washed all of our sins away and not just ours, but the sins of the whole world.  He is more precious than gold.  He cannot be compared in worth to any earthly treasure that we could imagine.  He is so precious to me.  Friend, is He precious to you today?
