One of my children has a hard time loving another one of my children. Hmmmm, I'll bet God has said those exact words a time or two, uh? Anyway, I'm always praying with this child of mine to help said child to love the other child enough. Tonight after, once again, watching this child endure a hug and kiss from the unliked child I made the reminder again. "Just a hug and kiss, that's all! You can do that!" The child whispered to me for the umpteenth time, "I just don't have enough love to give." And for whatever reason, this time the Lord put new words in my mouth. I held my hands out like I was holding water in them and said, "God will give you some of His love to share. It's like He's giving you a scoop of love and saying, 'Will you please share this with _____?' " And then I asked the child what type of hug God would give this unliked child if He were to, and the child hugged me fiercly. I told the child that we have to hug people for God right now and He gives us the love we need, HIS love, to do so. Our love is never enough.
Man, it always astounds me at the things God teaches me while I teach my children things that I never planned to.
