The Plan Revealed

My girls could never do a thing to make me stop loving them. They have only been in my world for 5 months now, and I have already experienced an expanded view of love I never knew possible. On their most colicky nights, I love them. On their fussiest days, I love them. And of course, when they smile back at me with the biggest, most precious eyes, I love them. There is nothing I wouldn't do for them. If when they grow up they do something I could never approve of, I will love them. If they turned their back on me and went the other way, I would love them. If they went for months without speaking to me, I would love them. If they spoke badly of me, I would love them. If someone were to tell me that one of my girls was dying and that I had an organ in me that could extend their life at the expense of mine, I would do it. You see, there is a love beyond comprehension that I have for my daughters.

I didn't know the capacity God had in me to love until I became a mother. I never fully understand God's plan of Salvation until I became a mother. Now I understand more clearly how God could have sent His Son into this world to die so that we might live. I also understand more clearly that no matter what I do, or what I have done in my past, that God loves me. I cannot mess it up. I cannot make Him turn His back on me....I'm the only one who can turn my back on Him. And wow, the pain He must feel every time one of His children turn their back on Him. I understand now. I get it. And I'm thankful for the way God chose to reveal the Plan of Salvation to me....through motherhood.
