These words are from one of my favorite worship songs, and
they are also some of the truest words I have ever uttered. The first time I heard this song I was so
overcome with thankfulness that I could not even sing. Just to sit and soak in the words; “your love
never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me.”
I know from my “All My Life Sunday School” badge that God’s
love can’t fail, it won’t fail, He will always love us. But how often do I find myself really
believing that, well, that’s a different story.
My head knows the right answer, but my heart cannot fathom it. Many, many, many times I feel like I have
failed. I am a mom, and I know all of
you that are parents can relate to feeling like a failure. Parenting is such a humbling job, I mean
really humbling. I used to be a great
parent, before I had kids!
But one thing I am not only learning but truly applying is
love and grace. Not just giving it, but
receiving it. What good is it to know
that God loves me, but not actually feel lovable?
