I said I would never be one of those parent who thought they had the most amazing child in the world. I’ve heard so many people say, “I know it’s probably just because he’s my son (or nephew, grandson, bff’s son, etc.) but I really think he is the greatest (cutest, most adorable, funniest, etc.) kid ever.” So I told myself I wouldn’t be that guy. Well it happened yesterday morning. I was playing with Safari and she was so adorable that the words “you are the best daughter ever” slipped out of my mouth. I don”t care how biased my words sound because I am so much in love with her. She is amazing and she has stolen my heart.
After playing with her I realized I had said the forbidden statement. So I started to think about it for a while. My daughter is the most amazing daughter in the world because she is my daughter. Every other parent thinks their child is the greatest because he or she is their child. All of our love is devoted to that child. For many of us we are capable of feeling this way towards a few children. Some have 2-3 kids others 9-10 kids, and many parents are able to love each of them the same. But God has an infinite mind and infinite love and therefor has the ability to love each of us as if we were the only child He has. From God’s perspective you are the most amazing child in the world.
I’m not sure if this is making sense but right now there are nearly 7 billion people on earth according to this website: http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop. Because of God’s infinite mind He is capable of loving each one of them as if there were nearly 7 billion individual persons in Him loving each one individually. My daughter gets in trouble and has to sit in time out, but she is still the most amazing girl on the planet in my eyes. In the same manner God may have disciplined you or sat you in time out but He still thinks you the most amazing thing He has created. Your God rejoices over you with singing (Zephaniah 3:17):
The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.
The Psalmist say’s that you were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139). God loves you and has sent His son to reconcile your relationship to Him. There is nothing Safari could ever do that would relinquish my love from her forever. She is mine and I rejoice over her just as my heavenly father rejoices over me. Be blessed in knowing that God desires to rejoice over you.
Let’s serve Jesus together.
