This picture jumped out at me the other day.  When our computer isn't in use, it starts to scroll through pictures we have taken.  I happened to be walking by when this picture scrolled by.  It made me stop and smile.  I rejoiced and smiled over my sleeping daughter.  I love her and delight in her.  As I was thinking those thoughts, the Lord dropped in my heart, 'That's how I feel about  you.  I rejoice over you, and you make me smile."  What a sweet and precious Lord I have.  He sees me and He love me just the way I am.  He delights in me.  He created me for His good pleasure. 

I'm reading a book right now called Do You Think I'm Beautiful by Angela Thomas.  This is a passage from the book:  He sees you over there and longs to hold the gaze of your heart.  He thinks that you are breathtaking.  Have you ever watched a mother hold her newborn baby and lose herself in the waves of immense joy and love?  His emotions over you is even more consuming than that.  He calls you by name and invites you into the center of His grand plans for your life.   He is swept away by your beauty.  He has given you other lovers as gifts, but He is the only Lover who can fill your soul.  He is the only One who will ever be enough.  His love promises to make you whole. Who would want to miss a love like that?

Not me.

I just sent Angela's new book about being a single mom to a friend whose husband left her in January. I was so touched by Angela's openness in this book. How is the one you are reading?
