God is very fond of you.

God is Very Fond of You by Laura Krämer

In his book The Wisdom of Tenderness, Brennan Manning tells the following story: Several years ago, Ed Farrell of Detroit took his 2- week vacation to Ireland to celebrate his favorite uncle’s 80th birthday. On the morning of the great day, Ed and his uncle got up before dawn, dressed in silence, and went for a walk along the shores of Lake Killarney.
Just as the sun rose, his uncle turned and stared straight at the rising orb. Ed stood beside him for 20 minutes with not a single word exchanged. Then the elderly uncle began to skip along the shoreline, a radiant smile on his face. After catching up with him, Ed commented, “Uncle, you look very happy. Do you want to tell me why?” “Yes lad, the old man said, tears washing down his face. “ You see, God is fond of me, Ah, my God is so very fond of me.”

At this time, I hope you know the truth that our God is so very fond of you. He is crazy for you. Passionate about you. He beams because of you. You are the apple of His eye. His radiant bride. O, He loves you.
