Writing about my snotty nosed baby reminded me of a story I once came across from another blogger.
So, I'm not claiming ownership of this analogy.
I'm just sharing it with you and tweaking it a bit from my perspective.
~~~
Do I love Ian any less because his face is all covered in snot?
NO!
I wipe him clean and love him just the same.
Actually, I cuddle him more and give him a little extra attention when he's all snotty because I know he doesn't feel well. I know he needs a little extra love when he's all covered in snot.
I love him just the same as when his face is perfectly clean.
This is like God's love for US.
Does he love us any less when we're all snotty and covered in sin?
NO!
He wipes us clean and loves us just the same.
Actually, He may cuddle us a little more and give us a little extra attention when we're all snotty and sinful because he knows we don't feel well. He knows we need a little extra love when we're all snotty and sinful.
He loves us just the same when we're not perfectly clean.
Snotty or not... God's love never changes for you.
Don't ever forget that.
