humbled by love

The other night, I got to experience something amazing- being humbled by the love I was shown from another human being. I say human being because there have been many times when I have been humbled by God's love for me... but never His love shown through another human... not to this extent anyway.
This particular day was really hard for me. Something that hadn't really hit me yet until the other day is just how drastically different my community is. Let me explain... last year, I lived with three other girls, one of them was my best friend, and we all grew to be family. I also had led a bible study for the two previous years and always had a group of girls my age who I hung out with. NOW... I live at home with my family. My sister lives in Chicago. My best friend is halfway across the world. My other close friends are either still doing the college thing or live far away.
Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that I'm lonely. I'm around people all the time. But I don't have the same relational ties that I had before and my community is completely different. I don't have roommates, I don't have girlfriend, I don't have girl-time, I don't have girls nights out... nothing. I was feeling very alone...
But then there's this amazing man in my life... I shared with him that I was upset and generally why I was upset. And he said he wished he could be there to hug me (but you see he lives an hour away from me) and that was that, he said he had to go run some errands. I was feeling sad again after that because this man is very important to me and I didn't really feel like he cared that much... He called me two hours later to tell me that he was sending something to my house at 8:30 so to make sure I was there. When I pulled into my driveway around 8:25... there he was. Standing in my driveway with a dozen beautiful peach roses (the only kind I like) and with open arms.
I can't even express the humility I felt... I say that in all honesty. I was absolutely blown away by this act of him showing me how much he cares for me and wants to me to know that. Obviously, he knows that he cannot replace my best girlfriend... but he wants to do the best that he can for me to be with me in all situations of my life, in everything. I definitely didn't feel like I deserved it, but that act just points me to Christ...
Here I am,
humbled by the love that you give,
forgiven so that I can forgive
here I stand,
knowing that I'm Your desire,
sanctified by glory and fire
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
since You laid down Your life, the greatest sacrifice
majesty, majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am,
empty-handed but alive in Your hands...
