When parents send their kids to camp, they have to sign certain documents. One of them asks who is the responsible party? If Johnny breaks his arm or Maria breaks out with measles, who will be responsible? Hopefully mom and dad are willing to sign their names.
God signed his! When you gave your life to him, he took responsibility for you. Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” (John 10:14 NIV). You are a bride; he is your bridegroom. The church is being “prepared as a bride adorned for her husband” (Revelation 21:2). You are his child; he is your father. “You are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir” (Galatians 4:7 NLT).
You can have peace in the midst of the storms of life because you are not alone. You belong to God!

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Matthew 4:16
"the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
1 John 1:5-9
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Psalm 27:1
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
