It dawned on me

We put our little girl in the crib for the first time tonight...I can't sleep. I checked on her every few minutes and finally I grabbed a book and a blanket and sat next to her. After a few chapters I decided to pray over our "little angel." And it dawned on me. She has no idea how loved she is. Her mother and I love her so much, a love that is...unexplainable. She has done nothing to earn or deserve our love, we just love her because she is ours. I hope and pray that as she grows older she can "feel" that love. But isn't that how God loves us? How much more does He love us? And He loves us just because were His. I certainly have not done anything to earn His love. It's amazing how having a child of your own helps you understand just how much God loves you. Totally and unconditionally loves you. My daughter can't do anything to get me to stop loving her. I'm so grateful I serve a God that won't ever stop loving me.
