Love is...

Sean walked by today as I was straightening the weird morning bumps out of my hair and asked me how my new straightener was doing. You see, Sean bought me a new hair straightener a couple months ago because the old one that I had was on the fritz and I had no money to get a new one so Sean, being the awesome love of my life that he is, decided to buy me one. Do you know where I bought the one that broke? About two years ago at a thrift store in L.A. So it's no wonder that my hair straightener was on the fritz.

I've never owned a brand spankin' new hair straightener until now. Much less a high end one like the one I have now.

I looked over at Sean and I said, "It's great! I love it! Thank you so much for buying this for me! I've never had anything like this." And me trying to be funny, I said; "Because I'm Mexican and I'm cheap." What Sean said after that has really affected me. So much so to the point where I had to blog about it. He said: "Well you're with me now. [jokingly] you're not Mexican anymore. You're with me now. And as long as you're with me, you will never have anything cheap. Because I love you and I want you to have the best."

That affected me so much because if this is the type of love that we get from another human being, how much more from our Father in heaven? How much more does he want the best for us? And we don't even deserve the love that He gives us. Who are we but men? Yet His love for us is so unconditional and so unfailing. It amazes me!!

Psalms 8

1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,

7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!



I am continually humbled by your love God. And I thank you for using small instances like you did today, to remind me of how great and amazing your love is for us.
