Thomas Wilmer Dewing, “Tobias and the Angel”, 1887 (The Met)
.
Since my daughter’s earliest days, we have played this little game:
.
I look at her and say, “Sometimes you love someone so much...”
And she softly responds, “…it makes you cry.”
.
We both get glassy eyed and gently smile.
.
Love
.
What is it?
.
“It” is a person
His name is Jesus
His skin is many colors
He is 33 years old, and also 7, and also 84, and also 40…
.
He is God. He is alive. He lives in you and me.
.
Tell Him that you love Him.
.
It is Jesus.
.
.
“Sometimes you love someone so much…it makes you cry.”

Ah, something to share with our 5 year old grandson and others who are very special–like a husband, children, family and very special friends who ECHO God’s love.
