Hold me

As a child when we are tired, scared, uncertain or just want to be closer or higher up, we stretch out our arms to someone we trust, usually our parent - our provider, and say, "Hold me". In response, our parent reaches down and takes us into his or her arms and holds us tightly.

Now, imagine your relationship with God in that way... envision yourself stretching your arms up as high as you possibly can and saying, "Hold me... hold me". In response, God the Father reaches down and lifts you up, wrapping you tightly in His arms where you are safe, secure and loved. You can even lay your head on His shoulder and nestle into his neck and rest. What an amazing sight!

That sight is a reality available to each and every of us, if we only ask: "Hold me, Lord, hold me." Best of all, unlike our own children, we never get to big for God the Father to pick us up.

What a great day to be nestled in the arms of God!

"And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:16

My Prayer:

Hold me.
