We are imperfect, but we are perfectly loved because we are God’s child. He wants to heals our hurts, remove our shame, and calm our fears. Like Mephibosheth, we don’t need to hide in a low place like Lo-debar, because our king wants to raise us high.

He believes his son, Rusty Thornton, is lost without God and takes him to a faraway place in the early 1950s near Spicewood, Texas, where he would never come in contact with people. He has an old King James Version of the Bible and began to try and cure his son’s affliction of skepticism.

Think of it like this: each of us has been given a piece of paper. None of us has a whole piece of paper because there is no way we could totally understand Him. So, each of us is missing parts of the paper: some more than others.
