My guest blogger today is Paula Mowery! Read her own true story below.
We’re told in
Scripture that God is love. He definitely proved His kind of love is an
unconditional and undeserved type through sending His Son to die for our sins.
Some love isn’t
hard to conjure. God just helps us to enhance it. For example, I am still
head-over-heels in love with my husband of twenty-six years. But through God’s
Word and leading, I’ve learned to love my husband more like God planned for a
wife to love her husband.
When my little
girl was born, I was in love, even though it took a lot to get her here. But
God has shown me how to love my daughter through example and discipline.
I struggled with
infertility issues before finally conceiving my only daughter. My bitterness
heightened each time I would hear about a young woman or girl who conceived out
of wedlock and by accident. I cried out to God that this wasn’t fair. I wanted
a baby and would care for that child and love that child, giving her a mother
and a father.
Some years later I
was approached by the director of our church association’s Pregnancy Crisis
Center to become their devotional leader. I struggled with my answer for a bit
but knew God was pushing me to do this.
As I shared about
the love of God and then listened to these girls tell their stories, I had to
repent of my former bitterness. God taught me to love and care for these girls
and their babies. They each had a story with hopes and dreams of their own.
Everyone deserves
to know about the unconditional love God offers. This is what I hope readers
see in the story, The Crux of Honor.
Since God is love,
when we allow Him to teach us His kind of love, we can’t help but be richer and
enrich others.
