Unconditional Love
Today is a very special day. Two years ago today I gave birth to the greatest earthly gift God ever bestowed on me. My precious beautiful baby girl. She is just the light of my life and every day is full of new discoveries and viewing the world through such innocent eyes.
Today at church my brother, our pastor, will be praying over my precious daughter as we dedicate her back to God. Just as Hannah gave Samuel back to the Lord as she promised she would, so I know that it is the Lord who gave my girl to me and with all my heart I give her back to Him that He may always have His will and way in her life.
I never knew love until I became a mother. That kind of unconditional love that I would so willingly give my life to save hers without a second thought. What love! What wondrous love! What takes my breath away is that this indescribable love that grows with every beat of my heart doesn't even compare to the love of my Savior. No one, not one person will ever love my little girl like I love her. No one, not one person will ever love me the way my Savior loves me.
My baby girl has no doubts that I will care for her. That I will protect her and provide for her and shield her from anything or anyone that may ever try to harm her. It's not even a second thought. She never questions my love for her. She never wonders if tomorrow she will eat and have a warm place to sleep. She trusts me that no matter what she will always be cared for and in that beautiful pure innocence she can rest her head each night without a worry...without a fear.
How the tears flow knowing that my Savior wants me to trust Him that same way. To rest in His care without a worry without a care in the world about what tomorrow holds. In His arms I am safe and nothing or no one can ever harm me. If only we had that same pure innocent trust of a child...never wondering or worrying about tomorrow... never questioning if He will provide our needs.
Our Savior loves us more than a mother loves her child. The very thought just blows my mind! To think that despite all my faults and imperfections, He loves me! Despite my lack of faith....He loves me! Despite my whining and complaining...He loves me......He loves me......unconditionally.
