Vicki and I went to the perinatologist yesterday to see how our twin baby girls are doing. After the ultrasound tech took all the pertinent measurements, and while we were waiting for the OB to come in, I said to Vicki, "You know, I love these girls growing in your belly every single bit as much as I love Emily." We both do. It is called agape love.
Agape love is the love that brings forth caring regardless of circumstance. It is true, unconditional love. The love we have for our children is the same love that God loves us with. I love all three of my daughters wholly, completely and unconditionally. And I loved them like this since the second I found out God created them. And that is why these verses ring so true:
Psalm 139:13-16 (New Living Translation)
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
I love my daughters...for all of eternity.
