My dear Savior,
If only we truly understood about Your love. If only we would stop and consider just how much you love us. Oh, how different our perspectives, ideas, and attitudes would be. Your love is so demonstrated. Your beautiful creation, your preserved Word, and your ultimate sacrifice are evidence of Your love. Your love is so enduring. Since the first man walked this earth, You loved him and met all his needs. And even now You continue to bless and provide for Your own. Your love is so faithful. Long after we have failed you countless times, You still love us. When we knowingly make wrong choices, when we allow sadness to overtake our minds, when the cares of this world hold us down, You always, always, always are there to pick us up, hold our hands, and see us through. Why are so many blind to the depth of Your love? How can we experience the amazing opportunity of parenthood and not understand that You love us that much and more? Our children do not earn our love, we give it. Our children cannot fall out of our love, they are engulfed in it. Can it be any clearer that we are Your children and that becoming your child is not something we earned? We do not have a contract with You. It is not as though we are keeping our end of a deal and You are keeping Yours. This is a relationship - unbreakable. This is a gift - unreturnable. This is grace. If I being an imperfect human, answer my daughter when she calls, love her unconditionally, and have her every happiness in mind - how much more do You love me.
In a world where so many feel like they are just one in a million, help me to reflect Your love- the kind of love that loves each one like they were the one and only.
My heart is overwhelmed with the thought of such love.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
