Resting In His Arms

Last night I had the incredible blessing of watching my good friend hold his one year old son in His arms. The little boy just laid there with such a peace and surrender. He was resting in his father's strength of love. It reminded me of how Jesus holds us with a tender, strengthening love. It's not by chance that this morning my devotional prayer book, Valley of Vision (http://www.christianbook.com), said this:

"Blessed Lord,
let me climb up near to thee,
and love, and long, and plead, and wrestle with thee,
and pant for delvierance from the body of sin,
for my heart is wandering and lifeless,
and my soul mourns to think
it should ever lose sight of its beloved.
Wrap my life in divine love,
and keep me ever desiring thee,
always humble and resigned to thy will,
more fixed on thyself,
that I may be more fitted for doing and suffering."


May you find rest today in the arms of Jesus (Matthew 11:28-30)
In Christ's love,
Justin
