We were eating with friends at a local restaurant this past week when a couple in a booth across the way caught my attention as I heard a newborn's cry.
The baby was in its car seat carrier next to the wall and then the father. Besides not allowing the baby to just cry, this young family mesmerized me.
The father of this precious child was a big, burly, football-player-type so, when he picked up to comfort his tiny newborn, she seemed extremely miniature in his huge hands. As he capably handled her, it was as if she was made of whipped cream; he was so gentle. As he shifted her to his cradling arm and shoulder, I watched as the mother lovingly took in this whole scene. Her husband was so delicate in how he held and loved this precious baby, and then he reached his lips to her tiny, sleepy head and kissed her as a valued and treasured child.
We can be sure that our God loves us even more than this earthly father loves his precious newborn little girl.
1 John 3:1a
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
God lavishes His love on us even more so than an earthly father tenderly kissing his child on its head. God loves us so much greater than we can ever imagine.
Praise His name! No matter what is going on in your life right now --- praise His name!
