One of the saddest and most tragic things that goes on constantly here on earth is when people never see or lose the ability to see the gentle side of God. God’s heart for us is like a mother holding her newborn close to her heart. It’s like a father picking up his toddler and tossing him in the air just to see him smile. It’s like a grandparent cuddling up with their grandchild and reading them a story. We’ve all seen animal hug their off-spring like it was the last time they would ever see them. That’s how we are to see God. Yes, He’s just. Yes, He disciplines. Yes, He allows questionable things to happen. But love does hard things. And Yes, He loves us dearly and wants to hold us close in His arms. Once you start seeing God for Who He really is, it changes everything. And you won’t be so afraid to approach Him. He loves us and wants us to see His gentle side. Do you?
11 He will feed His flock like a shepherd.He will carry the lambs in His arms,holding them close to His heart.He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
Isaiah 40:11
