There are days when the sting is still so real and my heart aches to hear JD's voice, so I look at his social media. In times like these I am thankful that I can go and see his face and read his words. I came across his post from Mother's Day in May 2015, and it got me to thinking. Even though he thought he wasn't the perfect son, in my eyes, there was nothing that he could have done to make me love him any less. Yes, he was flawed. Yes, I am too. We all are. I also began thinking about the love that our Father has for us, and I realize that the love I have for my children can not compare to the love that Jesus has for us, and that within itself blows me away! Just like JD, I know that there are a lot of times that I let Jesus down. And also like JD, I strive everyday to make Him proud of me. But unfortunately, every day, I am going to fail. I am going to make mistakes, because sin entered this world through man. However, we have a Redeemer that takes our mistakes, forgives them and forgets. He only asks that we turn them over to Him. If we can love our children through all of their mistakes, imagine what Jesus can do for ours. It is my hope that if you are struggling with anything right now that you would give it to Jesus. We are so blessed to call Him, our Father.
