Tell me, “How Can I Love You More?”
As I entered her room…I said the words -again- that I knew I shouldn’t.
“Forgive me” she said…
And I just replied with a plain “Yes”
I love her so much…and yet, I miss the mark so many times. My heart aches, my emotions ruled again. I did not use the Words that bring life..Where was my sword? Did I leave it in my prayer closet? Where did I leave the Scriptures that I have been memorizing?…
It is here, again in daily life, not in the middle of a great storm that I was weighed and found wanting.
Later, I came to her, and asked for forgivness, and made her a question:
Tell me, I said, “How can I love you more?”
Her answer came from a beautiful heart, one full of grace, “More? What do you mean, Mom?, I know you love me just the way you love me?” She hugged me and kissed me…
She taught me that the best response is always love…no harsh words, only love.
