Never could I expect to be so truly beloved and important; so always first and always right in any man’s eyes as I am in my father’s.
— Jane Austen (Emma)
Reflection
In honor of my youngest daughter Emma’s birthday, I pulled this quote. How powerful it is to know that you are deeply loved, not because of what you achieve, but simply because of who you are. As a father, I hope to give my kids at least a glimpse of how their Heavenly Father sees them: fully known, deeply loved, and valuable beyond anything they could ever accomplish. The world offers plenty of scorecards for measuring worth, but my prayer is that their security and confidence are rooted in something they can’t earn and no one can take away. Happy birthday, Emma. I love you!
Looking forward,
