Your love was with me all throughout the day.
Today was the first day since the start of our relationship 11 months ago that I did not have the opportunity to talk to Chris. I knew, going into this week where he would be gone on vacation, that we wouldn't have the chance to talk, but that didn't make it any easier. A dozen times through the day I wanted to text him to see how he was doing, to tell him about my day, but I knew it wouldn't matter - he wasn't bringing his cell phone with him.
Even though I didn't have the chance to tell him how much I care about him today, or to hear from him that he loved me, it didn't change how I feel. I was still able to know how much he loves me. I was able to think about all the things in our relationship that clearly lead to the fact that he loves me. Just because I didn't hear those specific words, doesn't change the reality that I am loved. His love was really with me all throughout the day.
I feel like this same thought can be applied to God's love for me. So often I wish that I could hear it directly from God, or experience it in some obvious way - in a way that leaves me with no doubt that I am truly loved... but this isn't the daily routine. I don't hear God's booming voice every day say "I LOVE YOU". It is those times that I need to work on looking around me, looking at all the blessings in my life, and coming to my own realization that God loves me. He is always there, always thinking about how much he loves me. His love is truly with me all throughout the day.
