On a day that you feel abandoned, unloved and not cared  for; just remember that God doesn't just  love  you for the heck of it.  God doesn't just love you.  God is in love with you.  God sent you to earth for a reason; don't leave without one.  God will always be in love with you,  even when you turn your back to him he will always turn the other cheek.  He loves us with all of our flaws. God always has a plan, and he will take care of us.  God is never truly done working on us, and when he is; it's our time to join him.  These thoughts should be enough to put a smile on your face;  at least that's why I'm always smiling. :D
