This whole being a mother-to-be thing has really opened my eyes to the enormity of God's love for me. I already love this baby that I'm carrying with a ferocity that is kind of scary. I don't know what my baby looks like, if it's a boy or a girl, when I'll get to hold them for the first time, but none of that matters....because they are mine. Then I think of how my Heavenly Father feels about me. The depths of His love are truly completely incomprehensible and far deeper than I could ever love. I am in awe of how much God loves me despite my imperfections and past mistakes...and mistakes I will undoubtedly make in the future. I am truly humbled. I am so very grateful for my God, who loves me more than I can begin to understand, and so I leave you with the words to "How He Loves" by John McMillan.

He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these
Afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize how beautiful you are
And how great your affections for me

Oh how He loves us so
Oh how He loves us
How He loves us so

Yea He loves us
Oh how

We are His portion
And He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meats earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart burns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way
He loves us

Oh how He loves us so
Oh how He loves us
How He loves us so
