When my son, Jesse, was born, I held him on my shoulder. He was small, twitching, feeling and squirming around. All of a sudden, I felt these feelings welling up inside of me, and I started crying. I felt all those feelings come, and started to think about what it all meant: I wanted to be a perfect father for him, but I knew I couldn’t as broken person. I felt regret that we’re broken, and I knew I needed God’s help. If I, as a broken father, feel this for my son, how much more as a perfect heavenly father feel for his children.
This song reminds me of the heart of the God the father. It gives me great peace to know that I’m deeply loved, and such grace flows from the father. I also want Jesse to know that; in the future, in the storms of life, that he will remember.
