The other night about 3am my 3 yr old Jewel comes running into my room scared, screaming, and crying and I jumped up picked her up and laid back down. She was saying, ” I want you dad, I want you dad!” and I calmed her by whispering, ” Your ok, I’ve got you, I’ve got you!” She was in my arms clinging on to me like a monkey on a tree. And at that very moment God spoke to me and said, This is my response to creation.(mankind) “When you seek me, you will find me.” when your scared, I will pick you up. When your crying, I will wipe away your tears and restore your joy. When your screaming, I will calm you and bring you peace that surpasses all human understanding, and in my Arm’s I will give you rest! And assure you that “Daddy’s got you, you’ll be ok, I’ve got you now!” So we need to quit running from God and run to him, because Jesus came so that we may have life, and have it to the full. We have amazing God who brings comfort.
and like our Father, we need not run from our children, or let them wander alone, in order to teach them about the love He has for us.
