And in the desert, there you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place. Deut. 1:31.
Yes all the way. To me this says that all that's happened in my life the good and the not so good God has been here. The way that my daddy carried me to bed or the way he carried me up the steps of a stadium football game and when he picked me up as he walked through the door home from work. I remember how excited dad was when I wanted to be with him and spend time with him as we had many special times. Dinners that we couldn't afford to go he would take me on a date. In elementary school he would take me to lunch at the place of my choice and we would go get me some white boots that zipped up the back. I felt so special.
God who loves me even more than my daddy probably feels the same way when I spend time with Him one on one time. Just He and I. Its amazing that the creator of all this wants me. To spend time with me and sing and dance over me. To see past the flaws because he sees me as forgiven. So today I recommit to Him. My all.
Kim,
ReplyDeleteYou remind me that I need to stay intentional about my one-on-one time with the Lord. It's easy to fall back into a "but we're together all the time" mindset and not set back a designated time to focus fully on Him. Thanks for this.
Beautiful, Kim! Our Daddy God loves us and desires time with us.
ReplyDeleteKim, I just read this over twice. It totally washes over me and refreshes me. Thank you!
