Sunday morning my pastor shared something that I would like to relay to you ...
During the worship service his grandson came up to him and wanted to be held.
I was sitting behind them a couple of rows and could see the look on that little guys face! He just nestled into his grandpa's arms and nuzzled the back of his head into grandpa's neck. So sweet. Pastor related that he began to thank god for his grandchildren and his family. Then, he started to feel guilty about taking his thoughts off of God, (during some awesome worship!) and thinking about his family. He stated that God doesn't usually audibly speak to him; however, at that very moment the 'guilty' thought came in -- the Lord said, "That's okay Bob, I feel the same way when I'm holding you." Enough said.
When was the last time you let God hold you?

I love this. This sounds like the God I believe in.
I want God to hold me ALL the time, its the ONLY thing that makes me feel safe & not so alone.
Amy, I hear what you are saying, and I don't want you to take this as harsh, but hon, you cannot grow and mature if you are held all the time. God takes pleasure in holding us for sure, but he takes more pleasure in watching us grow, to walk, run and soar (in a spiritual sense). The child that is held all the time never develops the way that it should. So it is with a Christian. This why I have learned to become blunt and straight forward with people. They have to develop their spritual muscles and stamina.
