"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has compassion on you" (Isaiah 54:10 NIV).
There is one thing that will never change, God's unfailing love for His children. The word compassion in Isaiah 54:10 is the Hebrew word racham, which means "to soothe; to cherish; to love deeply like parents; to be compassionate, be tender. This verb usually refers to a strong love which is rooted in some kind of natural bond, often from a superior one to an inferior. (Now here's the best part.) Small babies evoke this feeling." (Excerpt taken from devotional Girlfriends in God 11/5/08)
I have a better understanding of God's love for His people since Jack's birth. I am unable to explain it in words. The amazing part and the part that is hard to fathom is that the love that I have for Jack is only a glimpse of how much God loves him.
