I have cryed, I have lied but you still love me. And I love you.
Those are the exact words {misspelling included…which I love} that my daughter wrote on the mother’s day card she made me.
My heart absolutely melted at those words. My first thought was, Oh, yes, baby girl, how I love you…no matter what!
Then I immediately thought how appropriately those words describe my relationship with my Father:
Dear God,
I have cried. I have lied. But you still love me. And I love you.
There’s so much to unwrap in those few words:
I have cried…
because I was afraid You’d no longer love me
out of desperation
over ridiculous things
because I felt completely alone
I have lied…
too many times to count
about more things than I care to remember
But you still love me…
and I can’t even comprehend why
and I’m so thankful You do
And I love you…
because You first loved me
because Grace is continually saving my life
because You offer second chances over and over
Yes, God, I have cried. I have lied. But…You still love me.
And I love You.
