Lesson 085: "Holding With an Open Hand"*

What does it take to get your attention? A windstorm? A lost ring? Disappointment or loneliness? Unexpected loss or unbearable pain? An ongoing illness? Uncertainties in your life?

How does Jesus remind you of His everlasting love? It could be just waking up in the morning! Or, maybe it's a pink sunset, like it is for Janny Moore. Or the moon! Or a pair of mourning doves cooing atop a power line.

Maybe, right now where there should be joy in your heart, there is pain. Maybe where there should be unreserved confidence in the kindness and sovereignty of the heavenly Father, there is fear and resentment instead.

Janny Moore can identify with imperfection. She also knows that, as young ladies, we tend to look in the mirror to come up with our self-improvement list.
