You are not an afterthought. You are not a happenstance. You are not an accident. You were predetermined in the heart of Father God. He prearranged and took steps ahead of time for you to live the good life.
Our children were not an accident that just happened. Our children were a product of Jerry and mine’s love for each other. We are a product of God’s love.
As a parent, when I began to see how much I love my children and how much I love my grandchildren, I had a whole new revelation of how much our Heavenly Father must love us.
When our first grandchild, Mark James, came along, I held that baby in my arms in that hospital, and I wept buckets of tears. They streamed down my cheeks. I did not know there was that kind of love in the world. I cannot explain it to you. You have to be a grandparent to understand this kind of love.
When my children were growing up, if they spilled Kool-Aid on the floor, they got in trouble. And they helped me clean up the mess. But when the grandchildren do it, I react differently. “It’s okay, Honey, Mimi will buy new carpet.” It’s just different.
I began to see the love of Father God when I had my own children and grandchildren. It doesn’t matter what we do; it doesn’t matter how we mess up; it doesn’t matter how many spills we make, He just says, “It’s okay, Honey,” and pulls us right back to His bosom and loves us even more.
