I have been dwelling on topics for blogs lately. It has been a long time since I posted on this blog site. Yesterday I was talking to a good friend, thinking about the birth of my daughter, Sarah, over 11 years ago.
I realized the other night what this love that Jesus has for us is like. I thought to the time my wife carried Sarah. I used to talk to her in my wife's belly, sing to her, and massage her. Sarah used to respond to me. She jumped and moved when she heard my voice. I realize now I loved her before she was born. I didn't know, or care what she looked like, sounded like, or even if she was 'imperfect'. I loved her.
In that same way Jesus loved us. He knows the numbers of hair on our head, and the days of our lives. He loved us from the beginning. That is what I love about Jesus. Despite our imperfections, our blemishes, our future mistakes, He loved us before we were born.
