The coolest thing happened to me today! I was headed on a couple of errands with my 2 youngest kids. They were in the back seat, we were jamming to some David Crowder – “Run Devil Run“, and I heard my 3 year old pray.
“Dear Jesus, help daddy love you much much more!”
Well my heart melted right there on Hudson Road! The fact that my 3 year old is tapped into my desire to love Jesus much much more! I just love it! He is interceding for his daddy and he is only 3!
From that point forward the thought that has been racing through my heart is not just how much more I want to love Jesus, but how much He already loves me and you.
In Isaiah 43, 1 “…D0 not be afraid, for I have ransomed you I have called you by name; you are mine. 2 When you go through deep waters I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. 3 For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior… 4 …You are precious to me. You are honored, and I LOVE YOU!
Did you catch that, God, the creator of the universe says to you and me – “I Love You!”
I just can’t get over the fact that He loves me! Thank you to my 3 year old for the great reminder today, of how much I am loved not just by him, but our Heavenly Father!
And don’t forget #3 – Ian Daniel Lewiston – I LOVE YOU MUCH MUCH MORE – TOO!
