Of Comfort

Fear.

Unknown surroundings evoke a scream in the night.  A groggy mother wonders, "I'm right here.  Why is that not enough for him?"  Even after a hand is placed on his tiny chest, the cries persist. 

Only a mother's loving arms are enough to soothe.

A reminder of the Father's love for us.

We find ourselves in unfamiliar circumstances and, though we should know our Father is right beside us, we cry out in fear.  He wonders why is presence is not enough.

Yet He loves that we take comfort in His arms.

May we always stay close enough to our Father that we know His security, even when we know nothing of our surroundings other than that the Lord has brought us here.
