Not long ago in a church worship service I was afforded the opportunity to help a young mom by holding her son as she went about doing the work that God has put on her heart to do. The young boy doesn't know me and I know little about him. As the worship service continued he fell asleep in my arms. Somewhere in his spirit, I guess, he decided that he could trust me and just rest knowing he was protected. I'm sure I don't know how that works. I was a little surprised on how comfortable he must have been, not only physically but in his sprit as well. During his short sleep, 5 or 6 minutes I had the opportunity to pray for him, what an honor it is to pray for others. I think we often take praying for others to lightly. God is very specific in His word that we are to pray for one another. Ephesians 6:18 is just one example. Here I am, days later, as I am in prayer he comes to mind. Thinking about how trusting he was. Then how I felt about him, never gave that much thought. I fell in love with him as if he was my own son or grandson. I would have protected him with my life if needed, just as if he was my own. Me, as human dad, with the dad instincts that my heavenly Father put in me. Not forced but automatically activated. So if this is how I felt, how much more does God feel when we come into His loving arms, trusting that He will comfort us, and protect us, no matter what. That little boy had no worries. How much more when we come before our Father can we rest and trust in Him with our lives? How much more does He see us and love us as His children? I know how I felt and that is but a small thing compared to the Father's love for us. We are called to come before Him as little children, 100% all in, trusting and resting in Him. Just as that little boy rested in my arms without a care in the world. I want to encourage you to run to your heavenly Father, fall into His loving arms! Leave the cares of the world to Him. His love for you is so much more than I could ever put into words. Rest in Him and see how much He loves you for who you are. You are His chosen and so valuable, trust in Him today. #hisrefuagefarm
