Dear One,
God is smiling! Because you are God’s Beloved Royal Holy CHAMPION, His victorious child! What’s important to you, is important to God. When I was 10, at a huge Kentucky church, I played a concert piano solo! “Warsaw Concerto”! What a challenge.
I started playing, forgetting notes. In front of a large audience, my mind blanked. This crisis flashed through the eyes of my proud Dad. Nervous the minute I was getting forgetful – does not describe the shaking. I heard, “Lady ROSE, you’re okay, you’re okay!”
The voice, the smile of my Daddy comforts me, assures! Too late! I said, “I’m sorry” to the audience! Tears streaming, I bolted. Daddy comes after me. I see his smile, hear his voice tenderly say, “Come here, honey.”
Why did Daddy do this? Why did he stop everything to come after me? (Yes, I recovered. Daddy wiped my tears. Touched my heart! And I played perfect (to a standing ovation).
Why? How could my Dad go to all this trouble? In the greatest plan of things, does one social mis-hap — a single, embarrassing moment really matter all that much? Yes! You know the answer. To a ten year-old young lady learning her way, it is crucial.
And because it was important to me, it was important to my loving Dad! Truly, tender smiling Father God in the flesh!
