We’re told
in Scripture that God is love. He definitely proved His kind of love is an
unconditional and undeserved type through sending His Son to die for our sins.
Some love
isn’t hard to conjure. God just helps us to enhance it. For example, I am still
head-over-heels in love with my husband of twenty-six years. But through God’s
Word and leading, I’ve learned to love my husband more like God planned for a
wife to love her husband.
When my
little girl was born, I was in love, even though it took a lot to get her here.
But God has shown me how to love my daughter through example and discipline.
I
struggled with infertility issues before finally conceiving my only daughter.
My bitterness heightened each time I would hear about a young woman or girl who
conceived out of wedlock and by accident. I cried out to God that this wasn’t
fair. I wanted a baby and would care for that child and love that child, giving
her a mother and a father.
Some years
later I was approached by the director of our church association’s Pregnancy
Crisis Center to become their devotional leader. I struggled with my answer for
a bit but knew God was pushing me to do this.
As I
shared about the love of God and then listened to these girls tell their
stories, I had to repent of my former bitterness. God taught me to love and
care for these girls and their babies. They each had a story with hopes and
dreams of their own.
Everyone
deserves to know about the unconditional love God offers. This is what I hope
readers see in the story, The Crux of
Honor.
Since God
is love, when we allow Him to teach us His kind of love, we can’t help but be
richer and enrich others.
