How much [ 1 John 3 v1 ]

When Jesus wanted to stress how much our Father in heaven cares  for His children,He said two very impressive things in Matthew 10 v 29-31,''Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?,yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.And even the very hairs of your head are numbered.So don't be afraid;you are worth more than many sparrows''Spurgeon writes the following,''Here is a sermon against fear,and sparrows are the text.These birds are of little worth,and you are of far greater consideration than many of them.God observes the death of a sparrow,and he much more notes the lives and deaths of his people.Even
the least part of his children's frame has been registered.The very hairs of their head are counted and catalogued,and,to the most minute circumstances
all their lives are under the arrangement of the Lord of love.Chance is not in
our creed; the decree of the Eternal Watcher rules our destiny,and love is
seen in every line of that decree''
                                         A  thought.
''The Jews were so impressed with the individual care of God, that they said
every blade of grass had its guardian angel''.
