i don't get it -
how much You love me ...
then again, i do - for i am a parent, too -
and it is a love like i have never known
... more than i thought myself capable of .
i find it difficult being separated from them, and from my granddaughters -
much like, i'm sure, it hurts Your heart when i neglect the fellowship, intimacy, comfort and strength You offer me ...
i watched a video of my eldest granddaughter today, and it made me cry. Why ? because it was beautiful, and i could see her heart - and how wholeheartedly she performed this service unto You.
i know that, except You have saved me and rescued my life -
this life could be unknown to her.
Thank You for saving me, so i could pass this life down to them,
and to all generations -
"Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God.
He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand
generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love
Him and obey His commands." Deuteronomy 7:9
