Book Metaphors

I came across an entry in one of my notebooks, and it was good to be reminded that God is the Author of life, and He knows how to write and finish good stories. When life happens and things change, whether we like those things or not, we need to turn the page. And...

God Knows Your Mind

God knows, sees, and hears everything. He made all of it and is not bound by any of it, so of course He knows everything about all of the things. God knows and loves you, and cares about who you are and what you do. I thought of something particularly convicting...
