How Great the Father's Love

Recently, I had a very thought provoking conversation with a coworker.  He told me that he believed love is a lie.  The sad reality is that, after hearing his story, I can understand his point. 

Far too often, children are subjected to situations far out of their control and begin to form this warped view of a love that no one would want a part of.  Sadly, the story never ends.  Again and again, I have heard and seen this.  In fact, I had a point when I doubted that there could ever be such a love that I would want to know.

Fortunately, I met Jesus and my life changed.  It didn't change overnight, but it did change.  After many years and a dark spell, I really began to experience a life changing, life-saving love.  It was this love that taught me to look to God rather than people for the love I needed.  Only when this hole inside of me is filled with the love of God can I then really experience a healthy from other people. 

I pray that God would show you this love and heal your wounds just as He is healing mine.
