In the Grip of Love

Ever felt like the child in this painting?  Lost, upset, frightened...panicked even? You have nowhere to run...but to the safety of the arms of the one who loves you unalterably, determinedly, eternally. The Mother Arms of love...with the Father's ability to make it all right; that's what we find when we run with our tragedies and discouragements and fears to the arms of God.

The Bible says it like this:

"There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor. The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you." Deut. 33:26-27

 So the next time you want to cry....or scream...or hide in a closet....Run to those arms!  He is  running to meet you too...ready to wrap you in that strong, loving, sheltering embrace.
