I don&#8217;t claim to understand your love, but I do know that you have shown it to me in ways I could never have imagined. So, please, dear Father, remind me of how much you love me when I&#8217;m tempted to doubt your love or wonder if I&#8217;m good enough. I want your love to show up in everything I do. Thank you for loving a lot. Thanks for giving up everything for love. Thank you most of all for loving first! In Jesus&#8217; precious name I pray. Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As people, we like to think of ourselves as the most important thing in the world.
