Everyday Confident Love

​Our family was stunned, when years ago, our seven-year-old David, the fourth son, decided to walk down the aisle at church. The pastor invited a child to come forward to read a Proverb.  Hey this is Debbie Griffith with Everyday Matters. As David left the pew he said, “I’m a really good reader.”  The truth is most of first grade he had a tutor for reading but progressed so much that by the end of the year the tutor had been dropped.  Plus, as a family, David read a lot to us aloud and each time he’d read we’d say, “David, you’re a really good reader” and then we’d hug him.  David was confident when he read his verse (never mind that he pronounced a few words wrong).

And I thought, “Think of all the things we could do if we believed what God said to us?”  I mean like… how much He loves us, He’s cheering for us, He sees our hearts and knows and cries with us when we’re hurting. Go forward in that confidence, fully known and fully loved…everyday.
