I got a phone call from Courtney this morning while I was at church. She was crying and said that Carson woke up with a very high fever. I went home immediately and rushed in the door. There she was lying on Courtney, both with tears in their eyes. Carson looked so helpless and hurt. She usually greets me at the door with a smile when I come home...but today there was nothing. I reached over and picked her up and laid her head on my shoulder.
I wonder how I would've felt like if she had turned away as though she didn't need me. I know that I am the only one who can make her better. She has no clue what medicine she needs or if she needs a fan or a blanket. But what if she turned away and tried to make it through herself.... it would have broken my heart. I loved being there for her and scooping her up in my arms.
God want to take care of you! He wants to lead you! He wants to meet your needs! He wants to restore you! He wants to love you! I wonder sometimes how it must hurt him to know that everything we could ever need is found in him and yet we turn away and try to make it on our own.
I want to encourage you to crawl up into Daddy's arms and spend some time! You may find that you needed him to scoop you up and sing over you!
Zeph. 3:17
