i am taking a communications class at fuller, and we are giving an oral presentation next tuesday on a children’s book. of course, she wants us to use different voices for different characters, but on top of that, she wants our narrator voice to be different from our own. well as i’ve been revisiting children’s books to see the one i wanted to pick, i remembered this book i read long ago, titled “You Are Special” by Max Lucado.
I remembered it, because this book reminds us that in this world, we may be tempted to define ourselves by what others think of us. and others may make their judgments on us based on our performance, or how good we are at somethings… yet we have a Maker who thinks we are special simply because of the fact that He made us and loves us. It’s a simple and basic message that i’ve heard my whole life.. but the way this book tells it is truly touching..
reminded me that ultimately the more I spend soaking in the truth that God loves me exactly for who I am, not for what I can do.. then I won’t define myself based on what others think! I hope you may be empowered by this truth as well.. that you are indeed special..because God makes you and He doesn’t make mistakes.

So great to be reminded of how much God loves us and how special each of us is by the wonderful book by Max Lucado! Thanks D!
