A love that won’t let go

by Hugh on November 8, 2008 in Books, Faith with 1 Comment

The father patiently endures the loss of honour and the pain of rejected love. Ordinarilary when our love is rejected we get angry, retaliate, and do what we can to diminish our affection for the rejecting person, so we won’t hurt so much. But this father maintains his affection for his son and bears the agony.

Our Heavenly Father is like that, isn’t He?
If only we could love that way. Thanks for sharing that quote.
