280 – Warm Comforting Arms<\/h5>\n

#faithbites #faithjourney Arms<\/p>\n

Close your eyes. Think of a time you felt safe, warm, and comforted. It may have been when you were a kid in one of your parents or grandparents arms. Maybe it was as an adult in the arms of a lover. Perhaps when your kids or friends wrap their arms around you. The peace you feel through that simple touch. Your trust in that person makes you feel safe. Nothing can hurt you at that moment. To be like a child: safe, secure, and protected. That is what we are searching for. The truth is you don’t have to search far.<\/p>\n

During today’s sermon, our pastor talked about having childlike faith with the main message of “a trust so complete”. A key in his outline was “a child doesn’t need all the answers. A gentle touch or a loving look will give complete security.”<\/p>\n

I can’t tell you how many times I have help someone who is frantic, upset, crying, screaming and yelling. My words may not help, but wrapping my strong arms around their trembling body calms them. For an instant, they feel secure and safe. There is power in a warm embrace.<\/p>\n

When you think you aren’t worthy, when life is too hard, when no one wants to hug you, there is always one person: Jesus. He will engulf you with his arms and love. You don’t have to do anything but ask.<\/p>\n
