I was dozing off with a tiny little miracle in my arms after a VERY long night. It never ceases to amaze me that women are able to set aside the pain and struggle and love on a new baby without a single thought to what came before. The second that child took his first breath and nestled into my arms the 21 hours of labor was gone in a flash. He was all there was.
My Jonathan. My gift of God. Happy Birthday little man!
Sometimes it strikes me that God's love for us is very much like that. It hurts Him when we are in sin, when we are in rebellion and are turned away from Him... and then He breathes our first real breath into us and we settle into His arms and He says that He forgets what came before. He doesn't count all of that pain we put Him through against us.
Isn't that amazing?
