grade or make the news or even make dinner. Before we get that promotion or even get out of bed, Father God is already shouting. Not because of any stunning accomplishment but because of who we are: through Jesus, we are his! That shout is worthy of a prayerful pause. So take a moment. Allow God’s affirmation from above to echo in your soul: “I love you, my child, my friend. You are my treasure. And I am so very proud of you.” Is there anything else in the whole wide world that our souls truly need to hear?
