God loves me

Just a few nights ago, I was lying on the floor while Michelle was on the phone with her best friend. I started to smile. I cannot believe how much I enjoyed being around this girl. I was genuinely excited to hear her voice, anticipate the topics of our next conversation, and smell the aroma of her natural human scent. But as these emotions began to take its place in the back of my mind, the song Michelle and I were listening to began to push its way forward. All I heard was "...there is power, in the name of Jesus. To break every chain..." I began to cry as I realized that as my joy of being around, smelling, and hearing my girlfriend, I realized that that's how Daddy feels about me. He enjoys my presence, my eagerness for Him, and my desire to speak to Him. The intensity of how I felt for my partner is obviously a lot less than how God loves and desires for us. Nonetheless, it definitely put things into perspective.
