I don't know about you but I learn so much from my kids. For instance, I am able to see myself as the daughter of God through my children's eyes. I'll give you an example. Isaiah had a really long day Saturday on top of feeling a little sick. I could definitely see his body was fighting off something. Anyway, by the end of the night he was crying and clingy. I could see it in his eyes he just needed to be loved. As I held him I began whispering in his ear. I told him I loved him and so did His Heavenly Father. I reminded Him of all of God's promises. I could feel his body come to ease. Life had taken a toll on my 6 year old and he just needed to rest in the promises of God and know that he is loved.
As I was whispering to Isaiah I heard the Lord say "this is how I feel for you. I love to whisper into your ear so that you know you are loved." What a peace I felt. Sometimes life happens and the enemy likes to beat us up. He bothers us in our dreams, shouts ugly words at us and laughs while things seem to be falling a part, yet really they are just falling into place. I'm so thankful that I have a Heavenly Father to whisper His promises and love to me. I need it today and always.
Today and yesterday as the battle has raged within my mind I sit quietly at the feet of Jesus allowing His whispers to overpower the shouts from the enemy. Friends I pray you'll join me and do the same.
I love you all and pray no matter what season you find yourself in you don't ever forget who is on the throne.....
Your Heavenly Father!
I didn't get past the first paragraph before I was so blessed by this post, and it continued to the very end. Almost everything you post is so relevant in my life at that specific time. And again, so encouraging.....encouraging to be a better parent, to be more understanding and aware of what our babies need or are going through, and of course that God is always right there, in our ear if we are listening. Love it��
