John 10:28 (NIV)

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.”

Bible Context

Jesus was describing His sheep, the people who belongs tho Him. He said He knows them, they hear His voice, and they follow Him. Then He made this promise in John 10:28: once you’re His, you’re held. Secure forever.

Reflection

Performance pressure can make you doubt yourself. You start wondering if you’re doing enough or if God stays close when you stumble again. But Jesus settles that doubt. In John 10:28, He says once you belong to Him, you’re secure. No mistake, no injury, and disappointment can pull you out of His grip.

Because of that, this verse changes how you live. It frees you to compete without fear and grow without shame. It also reminds you that your value doesn’t rise or fall with stats, progress, or perfection. Your spot in God’s family doesn’t depend on your performance. It rests on His grace alone.

And when life feels shaky, remember this: His hand never slips. You’re safe. You may feel unsteady, but He stays steady

Application

Take a moment today to thank God for holding you secure. Then release the fear that tells you your value depends on results. It doesn’t. Rest in that truth.

Prayer Guide

Father, thank You that I am held in Your hands. Help me trust Your protection and compete from a place of peace.
