The Lord was reminding me the other day when I heard about a 5 year old little girl and her mother that made the news not too long ago and I felt impressed of the Lord to write this. The little girl was walking with her mother when a robber attacked them at gunpoint. The robber was about to shoot the mother when the little girl jumped in front of the mother and took her bullet. I believe the little girl ended up in the hospital in critical condition and I'm not sure whether she lived or not. I do remember praying for the little girl. But as I thought about the courage and how brave the little girl was to do such a thing it dawned on me that it wasn't about courage or bravery. It was about her love for her mother. She loved her mother with a perfect love and we know by reading scripture that perfect love casts out all fear. This little girl loved her mother with such a love that she was not afraid of taking that bullet and dying. I believe the little girl didn't even think about doing it it just came naturally and extinctly. Such is the love that Jesus loves us with and lavishes us with day in and day out. As the Word of God says, "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends".
