I am Convinced...By God's Love!

I really am convinced by this beautiful love that God has for us.  Who can measure it?  Who can know it fully?  Only He knows how much He loves and adores us.  When all else fails, it's His love that holds me up.  When my world comes tumbling down, His love causes me to stand.  Not because of anything I have in myself or anything I could do on my own.  Just by the Word of God and this beautiful love that changes everything.  Be convinced by His love and know that nothing can ever separate you from it...never and nothing!

I am sharing at a Mother's Day brunch about my favorite subject...God's love.   I cannot think of a better theme and I am so excited.  The Lord gave me a vision to take Romans 8:38-39 and bring it to life from a child's perspective.  God desires for us to be child-like in our faith.  So I asked my 5 and 7 year old daughters to draw the pictures for me.  Nothing in my imagination could have prepared me for the outcome.  God gave me the vision but He brought it to life through the thoughts and expressions of my daughters.  I am blessed that Grace and Bella can express in drawing God's deep and lasting love for us.  I thank God for them and the blessing that this little book has had in my life and others.  I wanted to share it with the world!  A very, very special thank you goes out to Mrs. Laura Reyes, my fellow laborer in Christ, who spent hours of her time using her God given gifts to make these pages come alive!  I love you and thank you with all of my heart! 

My prayer as you read Romans 8:38-39 and see the pictures, that you would know that God's love for you is real.  It can never be taken from you for any reason.  God's love changes people and I hope this book changes you!
