| | I'm blessed in more ways than I can count. More ways than I can express. More ways than I know. More ways than I can even imagine.
You know many of them already. Jesus coming to suffer and die for me. God loving me. Christian brothers and sisters all around the world. Other things like being born in America, never being hungry, always having a roof over my head, having medical care, having clothes on my back, being able to go to college. Just so many things. But I'm going to concentrate on one that I'm not sure others take into consideration very often.
I am loved unconditionally. You say, "So what?" every one is by God. This is true, but I mean I have the experience of being loved unconditionally by another human. Most people go through their entire life without ever knowing what it is to have another person love them unconditionally. Truly unconditionally. No matter what they think, say, or do, this person will still love them. The person may be disappointed, but it doesn't affect the love at all. It doesn't affect the fact that person will be there when the other needs them. I have that. I'm so incredibly blessed. Not only does ONE person love me unconditionally, which is more than I could ever ask for, several do. Why God chose to put these people in my life, I may never know, but He chose to bless me beyond measure. No matter what I have to go through, it's tolerable, it's possible because I people who will stand beside me in the rain. People who will hold out an umbrella in that rain, unless I need the rain, then they will stand there and get soaking wet with me. These people know my deepest darkest secrets and have cried with me, have held me, have comforted me, have told me that they love me. They have told me they don't think any less of me. They pray with me and for me. They praise me and encourage me. They'll laugh and be silly with me. And they understand that God is always first. No matter how far away they are in miles and no matter what time it is, I know they are just a phone call away. Many people will say that, but I'm not afraid to pull out my phone and call them at 1 AM if I need them. And they don't mind being there for me. It's God's love for me showing through people. Only God's love is so much more than ours could ever be. How amazing is that?
I have to say that I am one of the most blessed people I know. Not with intelligence, good looks, or a good sense of humor, but with the love that is in my life. That thing that will trump everything else. Love.
