A Note from Lynn
Since my childhood, God has shown me the details of His world and unlocked in me a passion to draw what I saw. As I grew older, He not only increased my awareness of His world but also gave me a passion for His Word (Bible). Combining these two passions, plus my love for children, God led me to write God’s True Love Revealed. Throughout this process, I was reminded of the verse He gave me when raising my own children and it has become the main foundation for this book:
Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6).
I would like to add one more comment to my young readers. Since all of my drawings are inspired by God and because He guides my pencil as each one emerges, in His honor, I have placed a cross somewhere in all my drawings as His signature.
Can you find them all?
Curiosity
Our world is so fascinating. There are so many things to see and learn about and do. However, there are also things that can harm you. Do you know what they are? God has put your parents in charge of teaching you what is safe and what is harmful. He has put you in charge of listening and obeying them. There will be times in your life when you are faced with deciding if something is good or bad for you. During those times, remember not only what your parents taught you but listen to your conscience – God’s warning system when you are about to make the wrong decision. LISTEN!
Parents:
Your children are naturally curious about everything. Your job is to see to it that their curiosity doesn't get them in trouble. Unfortunately, you can't always be with them, so give your children the tools to discern when to be curious and when to walk away. Our world today is taking us farther and farther away from God's standards. Do your children know the difference between what the world says and what God says? Do they understand that God's ways are always better even when it doesn't seem like it at the time? Instruct them in what God's standards are by teaching them His Word.
Scripture:
Listen, my son (daughter), to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching (Proverbs 1:8, NIV).
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right (Ephesians 6:1, NAS).
Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6, NAS).
