“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Today I went to the airport to collect a friend from a flight. While I waited I saw more than a usual amount of small children milling around the glass window excitedly anticipating the arrival of loved ones.

As these loved ones poured out of the aircraft the excited children ran to greet their nanas and poppas. Their were also aunts in the mix. 

One particular family had three little boys, one a newborn. His siblings waited with anticipation. The little children were cared for by their mothers mainly as it was inside work hours. They were safe and knew it. They frolicked within that safety.

We are to remind ourselves that we are also cared for by a loving father and older brother. We are free to frolick within the safety they provide us. Their love is patient and kind, not angry or resentful, it is longsuffering and gentle. As I watched the mother’s faces I saw they were soft and loving. If we earthlings can be loving like this imagine how much more our Heavenly Father loves us! Amen!
