I am a believer in, and follower of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. Jesus is my Redeemer, and Friend. John 15:12-13 says, Jesus commanded: “Love each other deeply, as much as I have loved you. For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all. And this great love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends.” (TPT)
This story is written from the perspective of my relationship, my friendship with Jesus. I pray this book immerses you in His immeasurable love, and deepens your friendship with Him.
Parts of this story may seem too good to be true, other parts will take your breath away, or bring you to tears. I find that’s how life truly is with Jesus—because of His Greater Love in all our lives.
You are the one this story is meant for. You are the one sheep Jesus left the ninety-nine to rescue. With guidance from Jesus, Father God, and the Holy Spirit, this book was sent Special Delivery to rescue your heart and kindle your faith in Jesus’ greater love for you.
Like the characters in this book, your story is unique. Every moment is lived within a larger story, a tapestry, interwoven with God and others. Whether your story is blessed or broken, it is God who perfects you by His nature, transforming your joys and brokenness into something beautiful, whole, and redeemed.
You are His sea glass, polished by His nature . . . His jewel . . . His love.
In celebration of God’s goodness,
Elizabeth
