Then cradling the little ones in his arms, Jesus said, "Whoever embraces one of these little children as I do embraces me, and far more than me--God who sent me."
-Mark 9:37 (MSG)
Hello. Let me introduce you to Sarah and Vivian. I met these 2 girls in Uganda. They literally found me. For the week that I was in Uganda, Sarah and Vivian were forever at my side. As soon as I stepped out of my dorm room, there they were. They were my 2 little rays of sunshine and the Lord taught me about how fierce and determined love is. Once again, I saw firsthand how love isn't something that we naturally choose, but it chooses us. This is truly who the Father is. He waits patiently outside our doors and embraces us with every chance he gets. His love isn't dependent on whether we'll love him back. He just loves.
This is what my 2 girls Sarah and Vivian did. They just loved. We spent time together talking about Jesus, singing of his love, playing on the playground, laughing, and embracing one another in his love. My heart was moved by these precious girls. Papa God stole my heart through them and my life hasn't been the same.
May we each strive to love with that determination, rawness, and vulnerability. I know that I've never been disappointed.
Take the time to hear and see God through another.
