"You Are Special"

A rarely pays attention in class. A few weeks ago he would not focus at all during the Bible Study, but after the study we read Max Lucado's book, "You Are Special." Suddenly A was much more attentive than ever before. As the story continued A got much more interested in the story, even asking a few questions.

After the story I spoke to A and asked if it was hard when everyone expected him not to pay attention and to get into fights. A said yes! We sat down and talked about how we don't have to focus on people and what they think of us. Instead we need to look at what God expects from us and know that God really does think we are special, because He made us.

I pray that A would realize that Jesus does love him and would learn to trust in Him.
