“God’s firm foundation stands.” 2 Timothy 2:19
THIS IS WHAT TRUE LOVE IS ALL ABOUT
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health.
He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease.
As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised and asked him. “And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled as he patted my hand and spoke. “She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.”
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, “That is the kind of love I want in my life.”
True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:
Dear God, I pray that I know that mighty currents of God’s love are flowing through me.
I make it securely through this day because I immersed in God’s love.
I leave behind me all traces of chilling doubt, or bleak discouragement because I am newly awakened to the potential of God’s perfect love coming through me.
Dreams, once frozen in winter apathy, are now bursting into bloom as creative love activity and love achievement.
I respond to life and the people in my life with the warmth of heart.
Today is my day to love and today is a new beginning of accepting love and giving love.
Dear God, help me to be the person that I desire to have a relationship with.
Help me to exhibit qualities that I seek in others.
Help me to be the person that I admire in others.
Help me to become that – that I seek.
In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen
POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
My life is built on the foundation of God’s love.
