Dip, pronounced Deep, is a four year old little boy outside of
Kolkata, India in an orphanage of 13 young Sons of God, also known as
Asha Mission. When we arrived at the orphanage, this little guy caught
my attention and grabbed my heart quickly. He was relatively new to the
place, and seemed to just be heart broken as he would stare off into
nothingness with sad faces quite often. I was able to get his attention
off the daydreams long enough for him to laugh and smile, and welcome
in the heart of someone who was there to care for him. That same night,
one of our first nights, he fell asleep in my arms.

There is just something precious and beautiful, about a
child asleep in your arms. My heart had been stolen that night.
However, I soon discovered that everyday we went back I was going to
have to work a little for him to open up to me. He always did, but it
always required work. I just decided I would use every ounce of energy
within me to love on him. I decided regardless of whether or not he was
receptive to my love I was going to pour it out upon him. I loved this
little guy, and nothing was going to change that!! I was ready to pack
him up, and take him home with me, and just shower him with love and
blessings!! I was ready to give up everything for this child. He made
me laugh, smile, and brought me so much joy. I looked forward to going
and spending time with him everyday.

I’m sure by
now most of you have read into this enough to know I was reminded of the
Father’s love for me. The fact that He has to remind me of His love
shows He is willing to work on our hearts daily for us to be open and
receptive to Him. He gave up everything for us, and He delights in us.
He loves when we come and spend time with Him, and longs to pour His
love out upon us. My Father, has shown me He is faithful, and His love
is real. If I could love Dip, with a love that I felt had no
boundaries…how much more does my Father love me!!! The Father’s love is Dip,
pronounced DEEP!!!
