Your Love Is Better Than Life

 

Aren't adult coloring books interesting? The Currys gave one to us so that we'd have something to do while we sat at the hospital. 

This particular drawing caught my attention because we thought this time last week we might lose our son, Will. 

But God had other plans. 

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

He took care of all the details before we even knew we had a need. He protected Will's life. He brought so many brothers and sisters to their knees on Will's behalf -- evidence that the body of Christ is alive and well. 

And now, Will sleeps like a baby under the watchful eye of his earthly father who loves him dearly but who was powerless to do anything to save him a week ago. Instead he gave him to our Heavenly Father who in return gave him life.  

Life. 

"Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you." Psalm 63:3

I praise the Lord for Will's continued improvement. He alone is worthy of our praise.
