The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh King of Egypt. Deut 7:6-8 NIV

I realize the sited scripture addresses Israel prior to entering into war to possess the land promised by God, however because we have been adopted into Christ family the same promises apply to us. We are special in the eyes of God no matter what others think of us or the mistakes we have made. God loves us so deeply that he made provisions through Jesus Christ to snatch us from hell into his wonderful promise of eternal life. Once we accept Jesus invitation and allow him to become our Lord and Savior no one is able to snatch us from the Father’s hand. (John 10:29)  God’s love for us should prompt us to change and be transformed into his likeness sharing with others what was so freely given to us. Standing on the love of God provides us freedom and confidence in everything we do. I am so grateful the one and only true God looks after me constantly. What a mighty God we serve!!!
