Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31
God’s Personal Love
In a world that can feel overwhelming and impersonal, God’s love is deeply personal. Every tiny detail of our lives matters to our Heavenly Father. From the smallest sparrow to the number of hairs on our head, we are seen, known, and cherished.
Nothing escapes the Father’s care,
Neither sparrows nor a single hair.
Traditional Chinese Translation
《沒有什麼能躲過天父的看顧》
沒有什麼能躲過天父的看顧，
既非麻雀，也非一根頭髮。
God is not too busy to know the hairs on my head!
Nor to care when a sparrow falls to the ground.
Only in God, does grace in such measure abound.
The world’s but a grain in the Father’s hand.
Nothing, finally, His Love can withstand.
