Wrap Me In Your Arms, LORD.

"The LORD will work everything out."

I am amazed at how my grandfather has so much trust. It seems to come so easily to Him. Yet I have trouble trusting Him in relationships and with my job. Why is it so difficult for us to accept that the LORD does truly have the best plan for our lives. He is our Maker and the only One True Healer. Can I not accept that?

I am so thankful for those who have been loving God for as long as I can remember. Those who have instilled in me a longing for knowledge and understanding of God. Accept, Trust, Understand, Believe, Know.. there are so many things that a relationship with Christ demands of someone. Demands for your well-being. For you to be closer to the Creator. But yet.. even when we know it is for our own good, we still neglect to offer ourselves, our lives, and our thoughts. Everything we are.

There are so many things that the has taught me, in my life that has almost been 20 years. He told me tonight that he didn't know what he would do without me. He wrapped me in a hug with his strong right arm and almost lifeless ages left arm. It was a hug that was long overdue. A hug that seemed to say. I offer my vulnerability to you. I offer myself. You are my grandchild. I am your grandfather and love you for who you are.

How much more does the Lord wrap us in His Strong amrs that never lt go, never get ages, and never become sore. He never gets tired of holding us. He wants to be close to us. I am even more overdue for a hug from my Savior. To be wrapped in the arms of the only One who will never let me go. Never leave me. Never quit forgiving me. And never get abandon me.

Wrap me in Your arms, Lord. Surround me.
