This devotional meant a great deal to me today, as my little grandaughter was born June 13! Our God is a faithful, marvelous God!! You are reading from 'Praying God's Word' by Beth Moore:

All our lives God retains the strong feelings toward us that infants evoke in their parents. No matter how old we are, He never has to let us go!

O Lord, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. (Psalms 139: 1-3)

Father, I thank You that You love me completely. You know everything about me. Help me to be completely truthful with You. I don't need to hide anymore. Please help me to accept the fact that I have not outsinned Your ability to forgive me!
