Have you given thought to the fact that the God of the universe knows you? Have you went to the depth of your heart and realized the Love God has for you? If you could walk up to Jesus today, he would say hello (your name) and open his arms for the best hug ever!
The book of Genesis tells of God creating the earth full of heavens beauty. In the Garden of Eden were trees, plants, fruits, waterfalls, birds, and flowers in every color of the spectrum. The gospels in the New Testament tell us of God sending us his Son, Him, in human form to the earth and people he created.
Human form! God had all the earthly limitations we have; he couldn’t fly, transport, or twitch his nose to make something happen. He lived just as you and I do.
He was a baby, a toddler, a youth, a teenager, a young man, a son, and a brother. He felt warmth and cold, love, and rejection. He got hungry, tired, sad, mad, and frustrated with the people around him. He laughed, joked, had fun with his friends, enjoyed the innocence of children, and respected the elders.
He was a teacher, an example, a friend. He was a mother’s pride and joy and the first step-son to a very honorable man, father, and role model. He learned beside his parents as we did, played with other boys after chores, yep had chores too! Did required schoolwork or, more so, the learning of Torah and Talmud. He had responsibilities just as we do.
In this life, we experience times of grief and heartbreak. We suffer trials that often leave us numb and speechless. There are no words that come close to the pain, depth of despair, or fear. He hears your heart and tears. Usually, all we can do is look up, shake our heads, and just sit in his presence. He understands; he’s been there himself. Please, just sit with him. Even being silent in his presence is comforting.
Or, when we are trying to express the depth of our love for him, our thankfulness for all he is in our lives, the amazement we feel when we receive him in our hearts—the utter speechlessness at one of His mighty blessings or answered prayers. When we look at the beauty around us and feel it vibrate within our spirit with no words that feel adequate, He knows. He’s been here; he’s felt it!!!
Go out today and every day knowing that you know; you are loved, understood, and never alone. Stop and take a look around at the beauty we often take for granted; let it bless your soul. Have a fantastic day and as always, Thank you for joining me. 🥰
