Beloved, I submit to you that there is no one like our Lord!
As believers in Christ it is necessary to know and understand the intensity of our relationship with our Lord. His love toward us and His role in our lives.
Such knowledge allows us to understand our identity in Him.
Let us explore a few;

Deuteronomyβ¬ β1β¬:β31β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬ tells us about how the Lord carries us.
βIn the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried and protected you, just as a man carries his son, all along the way which you traveled until you arrived at this place.ββ
Also Isaiahβ¬ β46β¬:β4β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬ tells us:
βEven to your old age I am He(The Lord) And even to your advanced old age I will carry you! I have made you, and I will carry you; Be assured I will carry you and I will save you.β

Isaiahβ¬ β66β¬:β13β¬-β14β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬

When you see this, your heart will rejoice;
Your bones will flourish like new grass.
And the [powerful] hand of the Lord will be revealed to His servants, But His indignation will be toward His enemies.β

Jesus said in Johnβ¬ β15β¬:β15β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬

Isaiahβ¬ β43β¬:β4β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬
βBecause you are precious in My sight, You are honored and I love you, I will give other men in return for you and other peoples in exchange for your life.β

βThe Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters. [Rev 7:17] He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His nameβs sake.β

β Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with respect for authority, and with a sincere heart [seeking to please them], as [service] to Christβ
You masters, do the same [showing goodwill] toward them, and give up threatening and abusive words, knowing that [He who is] both their true Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with Him [regardless of oneβs earthly status].β
