| This week I am using excerpts from the book, "God Thinks you're Wonderful!" by Max Lucado to try and stimulate you to understand just how much God really loves you.
"...It may be difficult for you to believe that God knows your name...but He does. Written on His hand. Spoken by His mouth. Whispered by His lips. Your name."
"You have captured the heart of God. He cannot bear to live without you."
"God's dream is to make you right with Him. And the path to the cross tells us exactly how far God will go to call us back."
"It is not our love for God: it is God's love for us in sending His Son to be the way. If you want to touch God's heart, use the name He loves to hear. Call Him 'Father'."
"He thinks you're wonderful !"
As you ponder these excerpts, you may be asking, "Who am I that God should care about me?" The answer is that you are one of God's children and He loves you no matter what you have done. If you read the Gospels, you will see just how much He was willing to sacrifice to reconcile you to Himself. The Bible says that He even knows the number of hairs on your head so yes, He knows your name and He loves you.
WHY? Because HE Cares!
