I asked the Lord so many times to help me explain how much he loves people. I never had the words. two nights ago I had a dream. I have not had dreams about my daughter before, not sure why. It could be because I have usually cried myself to sleep about it. Not for a long time now- though!
I dreamed my daughter came home, she wore rags, and believe me they were dirty. She looked like a man but cried like a girl. When I saw her, I wasn’t worried about what she had done, what clothes were on her body, or what terrible things she may have done. I fell on her neck and held on as tight as I could. I would provide her a bath, put clothes on her back, and forgive anything she might have done because she is my child. I didn’t start telling her how much she had sinned, or how dirty she is! In the dream, I told her how much I loved her.
In my dream Jesus asked me, “If you can forgive her, wash her and clothe her, How much more will I do the same for all my children!”
That’s what it means to love as Jesus did!
I can’t change a heart but Jesus can. I can’t heal a soul but Jesus can, I can’t make anyone’s sins white as snow but Jesus can and did for me, so forgive me I will do my best to love as Jesus did.
