I Hear a Symphony!

Before we had our third child I was scared out of my mind. How do you go about raising three individual with three different needs and do it well? It was even hard to envision having enough love to go around. Since we did not find out the sex of the baby I could not identify with this new person throughout my pregnancy.

I was amazed when she entered this world how my heart opened up and sang "I love you!" It truly is unreal how you are instantly transformed.

The vision or analogy God has given me for this new place in life is that of a beautiful piece of music. It is lovely when played just by a piano; but, the real beauty and power of the piece is revealed with you add a cello, and a flute, and a drum, and then the violin.
Our song was written long before now. God is slowly showing me His masterpiece and it is magnificent.

I am thankful for forgiveness because daily I take advantage of this gift I have been given so freely. Often times I am unaware of all of the times when I have graciously been granted forgiveness by others for my missteps ignorant of the error. Then there are those times that I have wronged someone or better yet the Lord that I am so aware of yet continue on the path taking full advantage of the grace I have been given. I wonder where does that put me before the throne. Shall I be ashamed. Shall I walk boldly in the knowledge of my deed and the act Christ fulfilled in freeing me?
Dear Jesus thank You for forgiveness. Thank You for freeing me by giving Yourself.
