Be Encouraged by OUR MAKER!




You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry ~ Psalm 10:17



While I was trying to get Aiden to take a nap I read him a wonderful book by Max Lucado "If Only I had a Green Nose" It takes us through a journey of how we often try to fitin , keep up with the trends and finally realizing it never makes us happy the only one that makes us happy is OUR Maker, God. At the end of the book the characters go back to their Maker afraid HE will be mad and he isn't he's just sad that they walked away from him but takes them takes away all the paint on their painted noses, and brings them back just as they were as HE Created. These are wonderful children books, and I love reading them too because they serve a as a great reminder to myself.



Just as this verse said and the wonderful children books by Max Lucado writes God wants nothing more than to encourage, listen to us, and help us through our lives, no matter what he will always love us if we only allow him to and recognize HE made us perfect just the way we are.



So go ahead cry out to HIM today and be encouraged by HIM.



In God's Love,
