The other day we had the pleasure of meeting our only daughter's new boyfriend.
She was very nervous and told us how to act, “be nice Dad”, and don't embarrass him, and please don't embarrass me. We were quite shocked that she was nervous about how her old parents would act... after all we are a very normal family (maybe NOT) ! On the other hand her two older brothers were the ones she really needed to give advice to... not us... Hehehee. We were nervous as well, because we knew this new guy seemed very special to our daughter.
We all want to make a good first impression.
I got thinking about how often that happens to we humans in our daily lives. Meeting a new boss, going to a new church, going for a loan...
That is one of the many extraordinary facets about God, we do not need to make an impression, He created us, molded us, and He already loves us. He knows what we are thinking, and He knows how many hairs we have on our heads. He knows how many hot flashes I am going to have today!
And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His Love really is. May you experience the Love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT
PS. The meeting of the new Beau went well, we only embarrassed him a couple of times.
