The apple of God's eye... - How amazing to think that God, the Creator of the universe, so greatly loves and treasures us, that He calls us the “apple of His eye”. This implies that He longs to lavish us with His tender loving-kindness and care – inviting us into an intimate relationship to experience the wonder of His LOVE. “Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings” (Psalm 17:8 (NIV)).
