Left Out: Believing My Story Is for God's Glory

Have you ever wondered if, when God was creating you, He left something out?

As kids grow up and start comparing themselves to one another, feelings of inadequacy creep into their hearts.

Did God forget to make me as tall as everyone else?

Why didn't God make me able to eat the food those kids can eat?

I wonder if God left out my ability to sing like the rest of my family.

Why didn't God give me straight hair? Pretty skin? Name-brand clothes?

Left Out is a rhyming reminder that while God didn't give everyone the same bodies or abilities, everything God left out is something He can use to write our stories for His glory. First-time author Jill Atogwe compels kids to believe that God uses what we see as our weaknesses to make us strong. By leaving some things out, we can learn to trust Him instead of ourselves. After all, God sets boundaries for his children in pleasant places (Psalm 16:5–8).
