Sense and Sensibility

So I was watching Sense and Sensibility the other day (the version with Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson and oh..............Kate Winslet) and I starting to think of our Abba Father as I follwed some of the characters.

The story is centered about the Dashwood girls which include Elinor (sensible and level-headed), Marianne (seriously unbalanced with a majorly unguarded heart = BAD NEWS) and Margaret (the baby of the family).

The character who spoke to me the most was Colonel Brandon, a older gentleman who is seriously attracted to Marianne Dashwood,but whom unfortunately does not return these feelings. Rather, Miss Marianne falls in love with another character who later betrays her which leads to her falling terribly ill to the point of death. Through all of this, Colonel Brandon loves her no less and stays by her side because his love for her is to strong to keep him away from her.
Thankfully, Marianne recovers and realizes the fickleness of her heart. Colonel Brandon does not admonish her but continues to love her no less. there is the final happy ending when the movie ends with Marianne and Colonel Brandon walking out of the chapel HAPPILY MARRIED!!!!

So, what is my point??? Hmmm!!! Well, you see, that is how our Abba Father loves us. He never leaves our side even when we are chasing after false love, false hope and fickle ambitions, ignoring His every attempt to show us what TRUE LOVE is!!!! When we have run and chased and exhausted ourselves and failed and finally realised how foolish we have been, he welcomes us with open arms and loves us like new, giving us a life that we can never dream or imagine in a zillion years.

I love that I am loved by the creater of love!!!
I love you DADDY!!!
