He loves her more than I do

It's true.

He loves her infinitely more than I do.

Christ's love for my precious baby is higher, wider, deeper, and stronger than any love she will ever receive from anyone else, including me.

When I'm filled with sorrow from watching her suffer through this skin infection she has had for months, I can be assured that He sees and he is grieved by it even more than I am.

When I am saddened by her situation at home I can trust that He sees, He knows, and He is saddened by it even more than I am.

When I have to say goodbye and feel like I cannot do it, I will remember that Jesus loves her infinitely more than I do and that He holds her life in His hands.

I will remember that there is no safer place for her to be and I will hold my hands open and release her willingly.

She was never mine to hold. She has always been His, and He has graciously allowed me to be a part of her life. I will say thank you and pray without ceasing that he comforts, heals, protects, and holds her all the days of her life. I will pray that those days are many and that I am allowed to continue to be a part of them.

I will trust Him.

He loves her more than I do.



" Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?  As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

 Romans 8:35-39 ESV
