God's Love is So ---

I just got home from the Women's Conference a couple of hours ago. I could go on and on and on about the things that I took away from the speaker, the teachings, the worship -- well, the entire experience was absolutely amazing!

The most important thing that I took away from the weekend? God's love for me...this sinner of a woman...is so great that I could never even begin to understand it!

When I look at the kids to try to measure my love for each one of them, I can't put into words just how much I really do love them. I can put my face up next to theirs and feel them breathe, smell their shampoo, and sense the warmth in the deepest parts of their souls when I look deep into their eyes. And knowing these things, just how much I love them that it brings me to tears to even think about it, knowing THESE things, I know that my God loves me SOO much more than I love my Littles.

Me. In all of my glory! God loves me so intimately and so much. He is my Father, and thinking about how much I (as a Mother) love my kids, helps to put into perspective just how much God loves me.

I am so undeserving of His love, this life, and the blessings that He has given me, but because He loves me so, He can cradle my face in His hands, look deep into my soul, and see the real Rebekah like no other could ever do. And, when He sees just what the real Rebekah is all about, He STILL LOVES ME!

What an amazing God we have!

This is my most favorite hymn.

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Verse 1
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my father!
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not:
As thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Chorus:
Great is Thy faithfulness, Great is Thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Verse 2
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Verse 3
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth.
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

ALL that I have needed, God has provided, and He will continue to provide for me from now until eternity!
