Sometimes it scares me how much one person can feel for another. I never thought that I could have such a love for my husband. But as we have grown together, I have started to understand things like trust and faithfulness. He has been a gift to me. I appreciate so many things about him.
He's leaving for Haiti in a couple of days. He is going on a missions trip with our church and will be gone for 8 days. I have spent the last couple of weeks contemplating our relationship and thinking about him being gone. I have had to work through some old issues of abandonment and fear, knowing that he will be leaving our "safe" life and entering into an unstable country. However, the thing that has stood out the most is how much I really love him!
But then another thought comes to me. How much do I love my Lord? Would I cry at the thought of him being gone? Do I cherish him? Do I share an intimate bond with him, a bond that brings tears and smiles to my eyes?
What if I loved God like that?
In anticipation,
Sara
