In a world of depersonalization, the truth that God loves each of us in a unique way is comforting. Join Dawn and Steve in the Morning for a devotional from Blackaby Ministries International based on Christ's interaction with Zacchaeus.

And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house."    Luke 19:5
