I Love You

My child,

I love you.  I love your laugh and your smile.  I love your voice. I love you when you are being goofy and when you are being solemn. I love the way you care for others. I love it when we spend time together.  I love it when you pray and sing. I do not care that it is off key or does not follow the tune.  I love every moment we spend together. I love it when you confess your sin and I love it when you confess my name. I love you even when you are taken in sin, as only a parent can love a wayward child. I love it when you, like the prodigal son return and allow me to pour out my love on you once again.  I love you.

I know you do not understand my love. I know that it makes no sense to you.  You do not have to understand it, just accept it.

Loving you, I AM

Verses for thought: Luke 15:11-32, 1 John 4:7-12
