I was asked once who I loved more, God or my children. My first thought-this is one heck of a trick question. My second thought-how do I answer this question. My third thought-Hold on, I need a second to think about this. This was my answer: I love God more because I trust Him with my children’s lives.
God created these incredible souls and gifted me with the privilege of carrying them into this world. The wonder of it is that He selflessly shared them with me. They carry my imprint in their body and soul. He gave up custody and trusted me with His beloved creation for a time. I must allow Him to work through their lives and determine when they go back to Him.
To love a child is to love them right into eternity. This powerful love intertwines with faith and trust in God when you’re standing right on the precipice and you have to let go trusting that God has already grasped their hand on the other side and will not let them fall into the abyss.
