Tonight fear and doubt filled my mind. I was unable to sleep, unable to find a peace and comfort I so longingly sought to battle this war of lonliness in my soul. I prayed all night that God would help me know his love so that I may not be lonely,and God spoke to me through a dear friend of mine. I was reminded of my Fathers' love through the love of my daddy here on earth. I do not know a single soul that loves me as much as my Dad. To my Dad I am beautiful, I am unique, I am his princess, and through his kind words and his loving actions, God was...IS...revealing to me His everlasting love. For through the eyes of my daddy I see a man that is humble, that is affectionate, loving, has great wisdom along with many other qualities words cannot justify. And through that, I have developed a deep respect, a deep love that filters to my mother, my brother and sister, and to my family and friends that I love so much. Through my dad I have witnessed the beautiful, eternal, deep love that God holds for all of us. On this night of lonliness I am reminded of words my dad continues to tell me to this day, "Andrea, you will always have a special place in my heart." And..I am now able to sleep with the comfort and love, knowing we are so blessed to have an awesome God that embraces us during our lowest times, revealing to us his love in magnificent ways. All we have to do is ask. So whether it be your dad, your mom, family member, or friend I hope and pray that you are able to witness God's unconditional love through their words and actions, a sure comfort and motivation during times of need. Amen.
