| The Beauty of Unconditional Love |

I just do not get it. In all honesty, I believe that I am the center of my youngest child's world. She wakes up in the morning and usually only wants me. When there is an owie, mommy's kiss is the one that makes it better. When something is wrong in her little universe, mommy needs to be involved. Even when she is going to sleep, she is ok so long as she believes mommy is in the room. I don't even have to be holding her - just my presence is enough. The hugs, cuddles, kisses out of nowhere are just so sweet, innocent, and precious, I can hardly stand it!
My other children are getting older. Yesterday, my 5 year old informed me that if I was ever mean to him, he would still love me. My oldest still likes me to tuck him in at night and will remind me of his love for me when I least expect it and often when I need to hear it the most.
As I think about this, I feel so undeserving. If my children only knew how many times I mess up on a daily basis!!
Yet there is One who DOES know just how many times I have messed up. He is the One who is deserving of all the praise and adoration. I am so humbled to think of the unconditional love God has shown for me through the sacrifice of His only son. I cling to Him just as my daughter clings to me!! As a parent, I know I have and will make mistakes, but I am grateful my Heavenly Father has a perfect way and will for my life.
Thank you Jesus for what you have done for me! Your Grace is amazing and I cherish all of the blessings you have given me!! |
