Love is Faithful

I love you. Period. 

 

That is what God has said to all of us.  He sacrificed his only Son to save us from ourselves and the sin in us.  It is amazing to me how much he loves me.  

 

I am committed to love.  I have actually been thinking about how this will affect all of the relationships in my life.  I have a best friend that I have become estranged from.  We have not been as close in the last few years.  She had an abortion about 2 years ago.  I committed myself to not saying anything about it, so that we could remain friends.  It didn't work.  We have drifted apart as friends.  I feel like I need to reach out to her, even if she doesn't reach back.

 

I need to reach out to my husband and love him no matter what.  No matter how I feel, no matter how he acts, no matter what.  It will not be easy at times.  I'm afraid of what that will mean.  I'm afraid of being put in the same position I've been put in before.  I don't know how I will handle it differently.   I pray that God will give me the strength to take on whatever happens this day, and the days that follow.

 

I need to reach out to myself.  I need to treat myself with more love and care and understanding than I have in the past.  I need to accept myself as i am.  A work in progress, an unfinished book, the beginnings of a work of art.  

 

I need to love my daughter, the same way that God loves her.  I need to see her through his eyes.  I need ot hold her and be the strong parent that she needs. 

 

God thank you for Loving all of us.  God Thank you for your son.
