Dear Reader,

Thank you so much for joining me for Wyatt and Jenna’s story! It has been an interesting one to write. Jenna even kept a few secrets from me until she was ready to tell. So did her sister, Amy, whom you will get to meet in the next book!

Sadly, too many of us feel like Jenna—unwanted, unlovable, broken. That’s one of the reasons I love Matthew 10:29-31, which was the driving verse for this book: “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” I also love Psalm 139, where it talks about God knowing all of the days of our lives before we were born, loving us so much that He wrote them down. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel safe, protected by the Father who created me. Trivia bit—if you read Erin and Jason’s story in Fatal Response, you can see how Psalm 139 plays into that one, too.

This is what I want you to know, what I’m desperate for you to know if you don’t already—God loves you. He loves you so big that He has even counted the number of hairs on your head—also Matthew 10. You might feel alone. You might feel like Jenna does—wholly unlovable. But that is never true. It has never been true. Whether you know Him or not, God loves you and He has already set up a way for you to know Him. I’d love it if you took a minute to ponder those verses in Matthew or if you went to Psalm 139 and saw His love for you firsthand.

Truly, my prayer is that this book and others like it will not only entertain you, but will also lead you to the truth of how fully you are loved.

Stop by and visit me at www.jodiebailey.com and let me know how you’re doing. I’d love to hear your God story!
