A Father’s Love

Last week I went to a special event dinner at a resort. The atmosphere was romantic and had live music, elegant surroundings and wonderful food. Most of the attendees were couples with the exception of one table that had a little girl about 2 years old.

The little girl was fascinated with the woman that was singing and would stand near her table and smile. She began to sway back and forth to the rhythm and seemed to be enjoying herself.

Then her father stood up, picked up the little girl and began to dance with her. Her eyes were wide with excitement and she laughed and smiled. Often she would snuggle in to her father’s chest and lay her head against him as he twirled around.

As I watched it reminded me of how God watches over us and takes hold of us to help us experience life in a deeper and more meaningful way.

He wants that personal relationship with us and wants us to be so comfortable with Him that we will joyfully surrender to His leading. We can rest in Him and find complete bliss in the rhythm of life because we know we are held by Him.
