How in the world can we ever think that the One, who created the earth, maintains it, controls everything in it, is totally Holy and perfect, would care about one person’s Sunday morning?!!  Daniel asked a similar question and the answer was “You are very precious to God”.  Dan. 10:17-19.  More good news is ‘You don’t have to be a Daniel.’  Just one of God’s creation!!  Psalm 139:1-18

From the journal.  .  .  . February 2007

We went to a different Church today.  It was so good to see Elisa, Jack, and their families.  Elisa was leading worship and she did one of my favorite songs that she does so well!!  Thank You, Jesus.  Lord God, is it presumptuous of me to think You did that for me?

And I Believe God Said:

Not at all.  Remember your little purple flower? (see below)  I did this for Elisa and you.  Yes, it was helpful for her to have you there supporting her.  And you had been wanting to hear her do that song again.   I know all of your desires. * Did I not get you to that church this very morning?  You suggested it to Mark, not thinking of that song.  You wanted to be low key and not spend much energy.  Mark said ‘no’ and you accepted that. What happened when you got in the car?  Yes, he suggested going to that church. When you got there, he was happy to see someone he knew.

Psalm 145:18-19. Psalm 37:4

Yes, I did this for you!  Not just you but definitely you.  Diane, this could be your best year.  Draw closer to Me because I want you to be close, to feel my heartbeat*.  Yes, you.  You are as much my creation as Billy Grahm and Amy Carmichael. You are as much my creation as Jesus.  I love you and I am your God and Father.

Isaiah 40:11

*Many years before this I discovered this cute little purple flower in our alley.  I fell in love with it and the Lord clearly impressed me with the knowledge that He made it because He knew I would love it!
