I'm Not Finished With You Yet

As you know in my last post I was debating ending this site. Well, I feel like God has spoke to me. He said, "I'm not finished with you yet." I know from talking to others that there are so many people that are going through a difficult situation related to pregnancy, miscarriage or the loss of a child very early. I feel like God wants me to keep sharing my thoughts, devotions, excitements, and struggles.Knowing what others are feeling and what they are going through is something that will never leave me. Please feel free to e-mail me if you need someone to talk to about this, evangroll@yahoo.com.
I wanted to share with you a devotion I had the other day from Max Lucados's Grace for the Moment.

A Gentle Lamb

Where God's love is there is no fear, because God's perfect love drives out fear. 1 John 4:18

A lot of us live with a hidden fear that God is angry at us. Somewhere, sometime, some Sunday school class or some television show convinced us that God has a whip behind his back, a paddle in his back pocket, and he's going to nail us when we've gone too far.
No concept could be more wrong! Our Savior's Father is very fond of us and only wants to share his love with us.
We have a Father who is filled with compassion, a feeling Father who hurts when his children hurt. We serve a God who says that even when we're under pressure and like nothing is going to go right, he is waiting for us, to embrace us whether we succeed or fail.
He doesn't come quarreling and wrangling and forcing his way into anyone's heart. He comes into our hearts like a gentle lamb, not a roaring lion.
