It's a wonderful, beautiful, absolutely true message that we all need!

I am surprised you never really wore blue before, I love blue and think it is dashing with red hair. =)<br/>You really made me think...if we don't see ourselves as beautiful but someone else tells us we are and they adore us the way we are then it doesn't really matter. And it doesn't matter what the world thinks, just what God and our family/friends think. That is beautiful!

As I've written previously, Merritt's love for me is such a picture to me of Christ's love, that to please one is to please the Other. As Merritt told me recently, "Remember that there are two who love you more than you'll ever know, God and me." But while Merritt's love is human, God's is unfailing; while Merritt may see Heaven's gates before I do, my Lord will always be there. Yet through Merritt's love, human though it is, I have learned more about God's love than ever before... Thank you all for your sweet comments…
