And then I was completely blown away by the depth of love I felt from the moment I found out I was pregnant with my son, Noah. <strong>I didn&#8217;t know a deeper love was possible!<\/strong> And how wild that this love has only grown more and more, deeper and deeper over his 2.5 years of life!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know you are God&#8217;s child. So He has that kind of love for you. Noah will just be sitting on the couch doing a puzzle and I&#8217;ll look over and feel this gush of love swell up in my heart and I think &#8220;OH MY GOSH HE&#8217;S SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bet God does that with us too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t love Noah for what he does or who he&#8217;ll become, <strong>I love him just because he&#8217;s mine<\/strong>. Noah feels like my heart walking around on the outside.&nbsp; And I bet God feels that way about us. Because He&#8217;s a good father, He&#8217;s a perfect parent with unconditional, everlasting love.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve never counted the hairs on Noah&#8217;s head but like it says in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=matthew%2010&amp;version=NIV\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=matthew%2010&amp;version=NIV\">Matthew 10<\/a>, God has all of yours numbered.
