Are you ready to hope again? Are you ready to let go of doubt & sorrow? Just listen carefully God is whispering your name Somewhere between the pages of this book & the pages of your heart God is speaking & He is calling you by name Maybe that's hard to believe Maybe you just can't imagine that the One who made it all thinks of you that personally -- that He keeps your name on His heart & lips But it's true In the Bible & in the circumstances of your life He whispers your name lovingly Tenderly Patiently but persistently Let these stories remind you of the God who knows your name Some of the stories are from the Bible Some are drawn from everyday life Most are about people who are lost or weary or discouraged -- just like you may be If you let them they will tell the story of your life & the story of a God who speaks into your situation So listen closely as you turn these pages Listen for the Father's gentle whisper that can erase your doubt your sorrow your weariness your despair It really is your name that you hear & the Voice that calls is more loving that your ever dared dream Listen & learn to hope again ...
