Greater hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
Today was
my last day with visiting with my children and grandchildren. I went to church
tonight and heard my son preach. My heart was overwhelmed with joy. The love a
mother has for her children is unexplainable.
I was
thinking about my love for each three of my children and was taken away with
the thought that my love is a one percent kind of love. Oh to me it's one
hundred percent kind of love but compared to the love the Lord has for us its nothing.
Do your
children do everything you reared them to do? Do they stumble and fall? Do they
sometimes actually break your heart?
It doesn't
matter how many times we have been hurt or worried about them, our love always
outweighs the grief or sorrow.
If this is
true, how much more does the father also love you? Once you have confessed your
sins and you have been forgiven, when he looks at you he sees his wonderful
beautiful child. The one he longs to spend time with, discuss the future, and
just bask in the moments spent together.
But thou, O Lord, art
a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy
and truth.
(Psalm 86:15)
