One of their daughters/sister had her baby boy today!! How precious and special this day is for them.
Before they went over to the hospital to meet their new grandson, they finished up with some gifts they were bringing him. She had a book for him, and she wrote his name in it. (supper cute..) On the back she wrote... "We Love You Elliot!"
Something really struck me about that the moment I saw it.
They hadn't even been to the hospital yet. They hadn't seen him, held him, breathed in his baby smell, or met him before. Ever.
but they already love him.
(you might thinking of course they do!)
But I was just really thinking about it. They love him simply because he is theirs. He's their grandson. He's her nephew. It didn't even matter that they hadn't even met him. He was loved simply because he belonged to them. (and he is fiercely loved.)
How much more does God love us because we are His!! He loved us before we existed. It doesn't matter what we do. It doesn't matter what we look like. He. LOVES. us. Simply because
We. are. HIS.
We belong to Him and we are His children.
Love, love, love this truth.
Try to make that sink in for you and rest in it!
how sweet!
