A Father's Love

4 weeks ago, I almost wrote a post about our Father’s love. I was gonna write about how I know I could never wrap my head around His love, but how I thought I pretty much got the idea.
I’m not going to write that now. When I saw Gemma for the first time… I can’t even describe the feeling. Still, to this day, every time I look at Gemma, my eyes swell up, and I can’t believe how much I love that little girl. It’s the most surreal feeling I’ve ever felt in my entire life!
Two days after Gemma was born, a doctor came in and asked us if they could give her a lumbar puncture to test for meningitis. That hurt like I can’t even describe. Parents out there, I am sure understand the feeling. I got to thinking about it, and I realized…. God gave His only son for us. Not to get a lumbar puncture, but to be beaten, spit on, stabbed, and then nailed to a cross!!!
I can honestly say, I don’t think I could do that. Heck, I could hardly approve a lumbar puncture, which would make sure she was healthy!
I’m writing this to say… I was wrong. I cannot, and will never be able to understand God’s love. There was a minute where I thought I may be able to wrap my head around it. I can’t. What an amazing week! What an amazing God!
