He Wrote Me a Love NoteHe pen it with the clouds, on the boundless sky.
I've decided to take a break from the notes, after what seems like a thousand hours. Haha, I'm already losing my concentration and it feels like if I go on, I'll just die from the toxic emitted by those evil looking paper.
And no, I'm not skiving, just taking a breather ;)
This naughty thing I'm facing right now has been distracting me every other minute. Haha, my itchy fingers have just got to switch the songs, play a game of solitaire or two. And it has brought me this far, tapping on this keyboard just for you! (Okay, that's a lousy excuses)
Anyway, I've been faithfully reading Max Lucado's Come Thirsty and yes, for the second time in history, Carmen actually finished a book in her free will :D Besides liking his writing style, the very content of the book touched my heart and taught me a great deal. So I, for once, highly recommend this book to you!

Dear Child of mine,
Are you thirsty? Come and drink. I am the One who comforts you. I bought you and complete you. I delight in you and claim you as my own, rejoicing over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride. I will never fail you or forsake you.
Trust in me always. I am the eternal Rock, your Shepard, the Guardian of your soul. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! when you walk through the fire of oppresion, you will not be burned up; the fires will not consume you.
So don't worry, I will never tire or sleep. I stand beside you. The angel of the Lord encamps around you. I hide you in the shelter of my presence. I will go ahead of you, directing your steps and delighting in every detail of your life. If you stumble, you will not fall, for I hold you by the hand. I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I throw my arms around you, lavish attention on you, and guard you as the apple of my eye. I rejoice over you with great gladness. My thoughts of you cannot be counted; they outnumber the grains of sand! Nothing can ever seperate you from my love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels can't, and the demons can't. Your fears for today, your worries for tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep my love away.
Give me your burdens; I will take care of you. I know how weak you are, that you are made of dust. Give all your worries and cares to me, because I care about what happenes to you.
Remember I am at hand. Come to me when you are weary and carry heavvy burdens, and I will give you rest. I delight in you, and I can be trusted to keep my promises. Come and drink the water of life.
Your Maker, Your Father
God

When I came across this, it begin to remind me that I serve a faithful God, a God whose love overwrites my guilt and shame, and in Him, I find freedom and amazing grace.
