““Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!”
Isaiah 49:15 NIV
If the question were put to you "do you honestly believe God loves you?" , you would probably answer "yes", because the Bible says God is love and that He loved the world and gave His son....however how about like, does He like you?
Is God fond of you? Does He cherish you? That thought warms my heart, that idea brings a sense of security and strength...if only I can believe that He does.
If I can believe that he cherishes me it will bring a relaxed breath to my lungs, a sweep of energy to my weary bones and even a compassion and tenderness towards myself for the days ahead. What a gift.
We can relate to this action as parents ourselves....we look at Devin, Livia and Kadin and we love them with all our hearts and we adore them with every fiber of our being and we like who they are and who they are becoming and we cherish every little bitty thing about the way they roll.
Let's rest in that truth a bit today.... and be loved, liked and cherished.
