What is this feeling, so sudden, and new. I felt the moment I laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing, my face is flushing, what is this feeling? Fervent as a flame, does it have a name…YES ( From the Broadway musical “Wicked”).
I watched you fall asleep tonight, then I continued to lay beside you on the floor and watch you sleep. I was lost in thoughts of you as a wild child two year old, a sassy sixteen year old, and a know it all twenty five year old. But right now, at three months old, you’ve stolen my heart. I can’t believe that God has given me such a gift, as the opportunity to watch you grow. I never knew such love existed as this breath taking, awe striking, thunder storming kind of feeling. It’s as if my soul has been ripped in half and one piece put inside you. I think this must be what Agape love feels like. Not just unconditional, but innate, uncontrollable, inescapable, a kind of love that changes the world. It’s like Emmett Fox said “If only you could love enough, you could be the most powerful person in the world.”
As people, we are only capable of love because we have been loved by our creator. If I have only one wish for you my darling daughter, it is that you will know you are loved in this way. I wish for you to be the most powerful person in the world, to love as if your soul is overflowing, because you are precious, and important. You are a vital piece of God’s puzzle, and it could not be completed without you. God will search for you, and find you when you are lost. He will never be far away, and if you but whisper his name he will be there before the word is off your lips. He sent his son to die for you. I know now what kind of sacrifice that is. If it would erase one bit of suffering I would die for you, and I am not the being from whom love came; for who it was named, love personified: The trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; the one we simply call “God.” If you will call upon Jesus to glorify his name, you will change the world with your love. All because he loved me enough to give me my hearts desire. You: Sweet Child of Mine.
