"Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you."
Isaiah 49:15
Obviously, dear Isaiah never knew the story of me leaving a sleeping infant (Sam) locked in the car long after we put away the groceries! No matter, his point is well-taken...MOST mothers don't forget their infants! God loves us, never forgets us, never leaves us. Somehow, we need to chew on that until we really believe it! I think we can get so caught up in God loving us according to our value or worth, and, if we don't think much of ourselves, we can feel so unworthy of God's love. God is eager, willing and wired to love us, no matter what. And we seem so eager, willing and wired to wonder how God could love us that much. As we journey through these last weeks of Lent, we only need to look to the cross to see how much God loves us. Let's leave our worry and our "wonder-how" at the foot of the cross and just relish the love that is shown to us there. Love, heidi
