After the divorce, her teenage daughter became increasingly rebellious. It culminated one night when the police called to ask her to come to the station and pick up her daughter, because she'd been arrested for drink driving. <\/p>\n
Not a word was spoken between them until the next afternoon, when mum broke the tension by giving her daughter a little gift-wrapped box. Nonchalantly the girl opened it and found a small rock. Rolling her eyes she asked, \u2018What\u2019s this?\u2019<\/p>\n
Her mum said, \u2018Here\u2019s the card.\u2019 <\/p>\n
She took the card from her mother's hand, and as she read it, her eyes filled with tears. Then she got up, walked across the room, and gave her mum a big hug. On the card was written these words: This rock is said to be more than two million years old\u2014and that\u2019s how long it will take before I give up on you!<\/i><\/p>\n
Multiply that story a million times and you\u2019ll get an idea of how much God loves you today! Listen, \u2018\u201cThough the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor My covenant of peace be removed,\u201d says the Lord who has compassion on you.\u2019<\/i> (Isaiah 54:10 NIV)<\/p>\n
Nothing you\u2019ve ever done has shocked Him for He knew what He was getting when He called you. And He knows something else too\u2014He knows what you can and will be when His grace has done its work in your life. That\u2019s why He\u2019ll never give up on you. Why don\u2019t you come to Him now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
