How must God feel when...?

Ever get one of those moments where you say "How must God feel when..."? Ya know, God is smart! I know, I know what you're saying: "That's what you're blogging about Jeff?" NO! Well, yes, but NO! Everything in this life...EVERYTHING, is meant to point us to God. One of the greatest things in life that is meant to be a picture of God is the parent/child relationship. I got a taste AGAIN of that today. It was a beautiful morning so I decided to do my devos out on our back porch swing. I'm up before everyone else and was reading my Bible, praying, when out walks Makalah to the swing. She climbed up and cuddled up next to me as only a tired little child can. I immediately said "Do you want me to go turn Little Bear on for you?" (Little Bear is her favorite morning cartoon right now) She didn't even look up, just kept her head rested on my arm and said "No, I just want to be with you." WOW! Immediately God spoke to my heart. I wrote in my journal "Imagine how God must feel when we come to Him without requests, burdens or needs, but just to be with Him." You see it's really when we just want to be with Him that our burdens, needs and requests are FULLY met! They are met IN Him not just BY Him. I need to learn that truth more.

Following Christ,

Jeff
