²⁸and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. ²⁹“My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. ³⁰“I and the Father are one.”
John 10:28-30

John, to my dear friends in Christ; in John 10: 28 we have a promise from Jesus. Once we genuinely dedicate from our hearts our lives to Jesus, we have the promise that He will hold onto us and no one will be able to take us away from Him. Think about this, no matter what happens in our life we will always be His. And to make sure there was no doubt, in verse 29 we are also in God the Father's hand. Then in verse 30 we see Jesus and the Father are Both one, and being one, Both must be God, and since there is non greater than God, no one  can snatch us from His hand. What an awesome promise, as we go through trials we can remember this promise from God.

Dear Heavenly Father, there are many promises in Your Word and today we know if we belong to Jesus both He and You hold us in Your hand.  Let us rest and rejoice on that promise.  Oh dear Father if given the chance help us to tell of this promise that is available to those who don't know Your Son, in Jesus name I Pray, Amen.

God's Many Blessings to You,

john
