As a mom of five, I find this quote to be so very beautiful. I very much desire to give each of my children all of myself every single day of their lives so that they will never want for motherly affection, understanding or attention. I also know how incredibly difficult it is to feel that there is enough of me to go around sometimes. As a parent, I have to prioritize the needs of my children in order to make sure everyone gets taken care of. I have to actually spend time figuring out how to “fit it all in” every single day. I don’t want any of my children to ever feel neglected, ignored or less important than anyone else – although I’m sure that from time to time they do. Although I LOVE being a mother and having a large family, I have to admit that I often feel ill-equipped for the task.
That we may be filled with ALL the fullness of God! What a beautiful thought!
There is a song by John Legend that I cannot seem to stop singing lately. I love the lyrics of this song. It, of course, was written for his wife but the words of the chorus are such a beautiful picture of love with a whole heart – love to the fullest. I wonder if this is at least a small glimpse of the way that God loves each one of us – deeply, unconditionally, fully as if there were no others.
I hope you’ll take a moment today to reflect on the way that God loves you – the fullness and sufficiency of His love.
Rest in His infinite love today – He is more than enough for you!
