I Love You More

The other day my wife informs me of an argument she had with our soon to be two year old. The argument goes something like this:

Cyndi: Micaiah, I love you
Caiah: I love you Mama
Cyndi: I love you more
Caiah: (slightly louder than Cyndi) I LOVE YOU MORE
Cyndi: No, I love you more
Caiah: I LOVE YOU MORE
Cyndi: I love you most
Caiah: No, Daddy does!

This argument sparked some thoughts inside of me. My son did not realize how much truth was in his statement. Yes, I love my son with every ounce of my being, but I don't think I love him more than my wife. I think our love is equally the same for him. However, our DADDY in heaven does love him more than either one of us. See God loves Micaiah, and all of us so much that He did everything possible to give us a way to have a relationship with Him. He even gave His one and only Son, Jesus to bridge the gap that is caused by our sin.

Micaiah has no understanding or knowledge of any of this yet, but God has plans for him and desires a relationship with him. I couldn't imagine giving Micaiah up for any one of you, however God gave up Jesus for us! So, Micaiah proclaimed the truth when he told his Mama that his DADDY loves him more...

Thank you God for loving us so much that you did everything in order for us to have a relationship with you!
