Such love [ Ephesians 2 v 1-10]

As I looked out on the day it was raining,and I thought maybe the birds need a drink of water,after all did not Jesus tell us God the Father is providing for the birds [Matthew 6 v26]. Yes God provides for all His creation , but Jesus went on to say in Gods eyes we are of more worth than birds, we are different,God made us different,His image is upon us [Genesis 1v27],my study Bible says,/Human worth is not based on possessions,achievements,physical attractions,or public proclaim.Instead it is based on being made in Gods image./This is true even though at times mankind acts like  demons,but Christ did not die for demons,He died for mankind.That means you, and that means me,we are of worth to God.In ourselves we are unworthy,that original creation was perfect,but not now.This old creation has been ruined by sin,sin that alienates us from God,causes us to be an enemy of God,and excludes us from ,fellowship with God,excludes us from Heaven,and condemns us to Hell. But God loves us in spite of this, yes so loved us that He gave his only begotten Son,Jesus, that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have  ever lasting life[John3v16]
A  prayer..../Dear God although we are of worth to You,we act in such unworthy ways,we thank You that Christ died for the ungodly,and that through faith in Him we can be saved. Amen/
