Tuesday, September 28, 2004 To Gary re LoveGary,I have a beautiful little story about how Gods divine love in us differs from our own best best human love. My 16 year old son has a little book and writes (as prompted) many names of kids of all ages who he likes to pray for. Daily he prays for "those names in my book" as he has so many. One is a girl, quite a little older than he is, who has had a bit of a troubled existance, far from God. My son has constantly prayd for her a long time. One night a few weeks ago, he burst into my room and told me this particular girl had made her decision to serve God known to her family and church etc. His 16 year old tough male eyes were glistening with ......... what? Joy! Happiness! Why? Because, even though she may NEVER know he had prayed for her, he had been a part of helping behind the scenes with perhaps many other unknown other praying hearts....... I said to him, "What you are feeling, is the actual same feeling and joy that Jesus and all of heaven are feeling right now! You are loving this girl with Gods divine love... not your own human love! " He was not interested in this girl romantically (quite a bit older than he is) yet felt in heart at one with God, Jesus ..... all heaven!!!!! in his delight and love that this girl had made this choice! I feel it is this love which I must aspire to. It cannot be gotten from ourselves. We cannot conjure it up .... it is only there as a result of having Christ dwelling within, and the nature of the Lamb producung this love in our hearts.
