One piece of hope I cling to is seeing God for the first time, and being taken into His arms and hearing, “Emily, I am especially fond of you. I’ve missed you. It’s sooo so good to see you.”
Put your name in there instead of mine, and picture it happening to you too.
Can you feel it?
God is especially fond of you. 
You are definitely reading The Shack. It really is a great book. When you’re finished we should talk about it.
That is the nicest way I can think of to start the day. Thanks for that!
thanks Em, it’s gonna be a long day, and that just kicked it off right. i love you.
I also beleive that God is especially fond of us. I don’t believe God is always fond of some of our actions or thoughts, but even knowing this, God still is especially fond of me. Now, that’s unconditional love my friends! God and I still need to deal with the sin of my actions and thoughts, but God still loves me through that process as well.
God is so good! By the way I am especially fond of God.
