This morning in my sunday school class, we were talking about love. Specifically God's love towards us. And I began to try and understand just how great God's love for us is... let me tell you, that is pretty difficult. So, I started somewhere that I can understand and worked from there.
I have six people that I would call my best friends, they are amazing and wonderful, and I love them more than anything else in this world. They could never do anything to change how much I love them, and I am not planning on ever stopping loving them. But, one day, I am going to meet someone that I am going to marry, and I am going to love him so much more than I love those six friends, which is already crazy to think about for me. Even beyond that, I will have a kid one day, that I will love even immensely more than my husband. We are already to the point of unfathomable for me. And God's love goes beyond even that. I just have to sit here in amazement at how perfect that is. I mean, what?! I don't even understand how that is possible, but it is true. God love's immensely more than we could ever believe or ever fathom. I really love the song Good Father by Housefires, part of the chorus say "I am loved by You and that's who I am", that's our defining factor, we are love by Christ. And it should be, a love that powerful should be what overtakes us and pours out of us so unstoppably that others cannot help but see only Him. People should never have to question whether or not we are filled with the love of Christ, because if we are, it should be undeniable.
I had several other things that I was going to put in this post, but I have gotten approximately 12 hours of sleep total in the past week and I cannot remember anything right now, or say anything right, so I am going to get some sleep and then add post scripts to this as they come to mind.
Sleep well darlings.
