I Had a Thought...

Do you ever get so overwhelmed by the love you have for your child that it brings tears to your eyes? About an hour ago I had a beautiful bonding moment with my 4-month old son. He had just finished eating and was still laying on the boppy pillow on my lap and all it took was just a look from me to make his face light up with the most sparkly smile I've ever seen. My love for him began to overflow into tears and I couldn't tear my eyes away from his face, even though he was in dire need of a diaper change (big time)! At that moment, I began thinking about God's love. If I love my son so much that it makes me cry, how much more does God love me? Just as I love and adore my precious son and want what's best for him, as does my Heavenly Father. Life is pretty stormy with many ups and downs but I know that everything He puts me through is because He loves me and wants what's best for me. Even as parents our love isn't perfect and I know that I will let my children down and make many mistakes, but God's love will always be firm, steady, and perfect. He will not let me down.
