So I was truly overcome wih emotion today. I was driving to Knoxville to guitar center ( one of my favorite stores) and the Lord laid a buddy of mine on my heart. I couldn't shake him, so I texted him to see how he was and sure enough, he was havin a really rough go. We couldn't talk for long, but I was struck by how much God is in love with us as his kids. He cared so much for my friend, that he wanted me to text him just to let him know that he (God) was thinking about him (my friend). And it's like that for all of us. I was struck by how much he cares for all of us and wants us to know how much loves us desperately. He longs for communion with you! He has GOOD thoughts about you! He has GOOD plans for you! He is CRAZY about you, his son and daughter.

Lift up your head, oh weary traveler...keep your gaze fixed upon him.
