Now that I’m in a relationship, I promise not to post a million blogs about being in said relationship. However, this one is going to be about that a little bit. What can I say — I’m in love.
Having Travis back in my life is weird. Not a bad weird. But an I-can’t-believe-this-is-real weird. Sometimes, while driving or laying in bed or getting ready for work I start to think about how crazy it is that Travis loves me.
Sometimes it feels mind-blowing to know how much he loves me and cares about me. And I think about all the things I don’t even like about myself — my pointy ears, my jealousy, my mood swings at certain times of the month — and I wonder why he would want to have a relationship with me. But then I remember he does, he really does. And he shows me that all the time.
Are you in a relationship where it is hard to comprehend why or how someone can love you so much? It doesn’t have to be a romantic relationship. Maybe a parent or grandparent, a friend or mentor?
There’s a deeper love.
I was thinking about how mind-blowing it is that Travis loves me. And then I thought, If I am blown away by Travis’ love for me, think about how much more God loves me! Then I was even more blown away!
I honestly can’t comprehend God’s love for me within even 1/1,000th of an ounce. Once, I heard someone say that trying to explain God’s love is like trying to explain the ocean by using a bottle of water. We have absolutely no idea how much God loves us and cares for us. We see the water inside a bottle, while God loves us as big as the ocean.
So I just wanted to remind you today of how much you are loved. By not just a human, but our Creator. With not just a mortal love, but an eternal, unconditional love that exceeds anything our minds can even fathom. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s some pretty awesome sunshine! Blinding even.
