How great Gods love for us is something that I have never really had any understanding of. Now as I am a mom to a five month old I have a slight understanding but no concept of how deep his love for us really is. The love that I have for my son is so overwhelming. I have never known this kind of love. The kind of love that you will do anything for them and not let anything happen to them. The kind that you just want to hold on tight to and never let go, but know that one day you will have to. The love that I have for my son is so great I worry that when child number two comes along I won't have love for them like I do for Malcolm. Although I know I will, and my love will grow even more.
When I think of that kind of love that I have I often think that, that is the type of love God has for me but even greater. This is something I find so hard to fathom. How does he have that much love for us all?? And if the love for my child that I have is only a small fraction of Gods love for you and me, how loved and cherished are w?! Every time I think of this tears form in my eyes, ones of gratitude and amazement
. To know such love.
It is my goal to raise my children in the most loving way possible. They way in which our heavenly father would raise and love us. May I continue to show Malcolm and others just a smidgen of Gods unending love.
