“In love he
predestined us…in accordance with his pleasure and will” Eph. 1:5. “The LORD your God is with you…He will take
great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you
with singing” Zeph. 3:17.
I cannot remember a time on this earth when I didn’t think
about being a mother one day. Even as a
small child I can remember loving my dolls and pretending they were my
children. After I married it was one of
the first things on my mind. I was now
positioned to fulfill the desire of my heart – to have a baby and become a
mother. I planned for my babies each
time and waited for each of their arrivals with great excitement. It was my pleasure and delight to hold them,
protect them, sacrifice for them and gently rock and comfort them. I can remember when they would cry during the
night and I would go to them. There was
something so precious about parent and child alone in the dark…one needing
while the other providing.
We have a loving Father who planned for us before we were
even conceived. In love He created us
and placed Himself within us. In delight
He blesses each of us with the wonderful things He has chosen for us. In comfort He quiets our anxieties when we
cry out to Him in the dark. He gently
rocks us in our spirit lulling us back into His peace and confidence.
If we could only allow Him to father us in the same manner
our children allow us we would always feel the love and protection in
all circumstances. He is there waiting
to tenderly comfort…waiting to love…wanting to bless.
“And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them
and blessed them” Mark 10:16.
