It was a silver cow. But when I say ‘cow’, don’t go running away with the idea of some decent, self-respecting cudster such as you may observe loading grass into itself in the nearest meadow. This was a sinister, leering, Underworld sort of animal, the kind that would spit out of the side of its mouth for twopence. It was about four inches high and six long. Its back opened on a hinge.

Even this cannot compare with the unconditional and limitless love God has for you. If you are a believer in Christ, you are God's precious child.

Dear precious child of God, let this sink into your soul and down to the tips of your toes. Eph 3:17-19. Whom will you believe - Satan who says God doesn't care about you, or God who says Jer. 31:3? pg. 167
