APPLE OF GOD'S EYE
Apple is a fruit from an apple tree. It is a fruit everyone like to eat, when we talk on the apple of someone’s eye it’s a person or thing that is loved more than any other. It is a thing cherished than any other thing. We are all the apple of God’s eye ,that is why he sent us his only cherished and begotten son to come to the world in form of man just to come and die for us and pay our debt of sins. God’s love for us all cannot be fathomed, comprehended, imagined, measured, quantified. Rom 5 vs 8; But God commendeth his love towards us in that, while we yet sinners Christ died for us. Yes he did because he see us as the apple of his eye. Furthermore, people take this for granted now; by not obeying God’s will, acts, and commandments which causes God most times to be far from us. The wicked are also referred to as sinners in the bible. Psalm 145 vs 20; The lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. When one is the apple of God’s eye he/she is: Untouchable Zec 2 vs 8, Shielded Deu 32 vs 10, Guarded Psalm 17 vs 8,Delivered from Affliction psalm 34 vs 19, Filled with Peace and Rest Exo 14 vs 14, Overcome all 1Jhn 5 vs 4, Hear from God, Nourished and Blessed, Rides on high Places.
