Never Lose Heart: Hope for the Journey

Most of us have probably heard the words, “God loves you.” With all of life’s hardships and questions without answers, it can be difficult to believe these words in our heads, let alone in our hearts. At certain times, it can be easy to wonder: Is God really there? Has He forsaken me? Is He disappointed in me?

After a particularly difficult, searching time in her life, Connie Smith came to a life-changing illumination about God and His endless, faithful love. Through the process of learning to let go of her failures and her striving to gain God’s approval, this revelation unfolded in an undeniable way—through random hearts. She began seeing them everywhere—in a rain puddle, in a cement sidewalk, in the bark of a towering tree trunk, in a strip of chipped road paint, even in a littered aluminum can. The more hearts she encountered, the more significant they became in her life—a confirmation of God’s presence and His relentless, unconditional love.

Never Lose Heart is an inspirational gift book born out of Connie’s journey and her discovery of God’s grace as she had never known it before. Featuring 52 heart images captured with her iPhone, unaltered and just as she found them, Never Lose Heart offers encouragement, comfort, and hope amid life’s challenges.

No one is exempt from hardships in this life, but God is faithful and promises to be with us no matter what, even in the midst of our failures. His unfailing love has always been there, ready to be found—if we choose to see it.
