His Special Guy

​A father was tucking in his six-year old in for the night.  “Son,” he asked, “when does Daddy love you the most?  When you’ve been fighting with your sister and getting into a lot of trouble?  Or when you’ve been helpful to Mommy and being real nice to everyone?”

The son thought for a moment and then responded confidently, “Both times!”
 
“Right,” the father said, “and do you know why?”
 
“Cause I’m your special guy.”  That was his daddy’s nickname for him:  “Daddy’s Special Guy.”  The boy knew his daddy loved him no matter what because he was Daddy’s special Guy.

That child had grasped a truth that you and I sometimes fail to understand:  There is no limit to God’s love.

That means I never have to wonder if God knows how I’m feeling. 

​He does.

I never have to ask if God knows what I’m thinking.  He does.  I never have to think, Does He understand?  Because yes, He does!  My life holds no surprises for Him.  He’s known all about it from eternity past.

God continually demonstrates His personal interest and love for us – simply because we are His children, His “special guys.”
