My little one came stumbling into my studio oh so early this morning and I had just finished up this piece of art. I asked her, "what do you think?" She replied, "awhhh they're snuggling, but I don't think that little guy in the middle likes it much." (giggle giggle)
I paused for a moment and said, " you're right, he doesn't look too happy."
I said, "that reminds me of you when your sister wants to love and hug you, and you wiggle and squirm away all the time."
She scrunched her nose up and started to giggle. She knew what I meant.
But this gets me wondering about God's love for us.
Do you wiggle and squirm when God wants to reveal His love to you?
I know sometimes I do. Not intentionally. But with the businesses of my life I just don't stop and let the Lord love me, guide me or heal me.
In Psalm 46:10 says,"Be still and know that I am God."
Am I'm still enough to let Him perhaps convicted me of a sin that needs to be confessed and turned away from? Am I still enough to hear from His holy spirit? Or am I still enough just to let the Lord love me, as my youngest says, "snuggle me."
In Zephaniah 3:17 it says, "He will quiet you with His love."
My prayer for you is just quit wiggling. Slow your life a little, and let the Lord reveal himself to you. Let Him snuggle you, let Him quiet you with His love!
