There’s No Reason
I love Asher Chad McCall with everything I am. The funny thing is that there’s no reason for it. I mean, he didn’t do anything to be loved. He just…exists…and that’s enough.
I imagine, as I never have before, that God loves us that way. Now isn’t that just amazing. I’ve heard it a million times. We don’t do anything to earn God’s love. It’s not what I do but who God is – my Creator and love itself. All I have to do is exist and He loves me. How encouraging. What a relief.
Of course, He’s not going to love everything I do and He’s going to discipline me. But. That doesn’t touch the love He has for me. That’s sealed up tight and untouchable. It just is.
He loves me.
More than I love Asher.
Wow.

Exactly right. It is a glorious picture of God’s love.

The parent/child relationship is an amazing example of God’s love. When Asher misbehaves, and you react, you will realize how not perfect we (parents) are. Which in turn will help you realize just how perfect God is.

And along those lines Dana, when I had my first child, it brought a lot of things into perspective. Now that you have Asher can you even imagine the sacrifice that Mary made, Jesus’ mother? I can’t fathom it!

No I absolutely can NOT fathom the sacrifice Mary made. Ugh.
