There are countless moments in a father's life that brings pleasure. But some of the greatest moments in my life, as a father, are those moments when one of my children are distressed and the only comfort that can be found is in my arms. That moment when they are completely sufficed in my arms literally takes my breath away. It produces a joy inside of me that is almost incomparable. That moment, knowing that my solace is all that they desire, brings tears of joy to my eyes. When a person is born of God's Spirit, repenting of sin and trusting in Christ alone for salvation, he/ she becomes a son/ daughter of God. Every good and perfect gift comes from God the Father. He is the only One who can provide for our every need. In the midst of trials, tribulations and persecution; there is peace, comfort and contentment in the arms of the Father.
God desires that everyone of his children, whether in times of happiness or sadness, find their comfort and contentment in His ever-peaceful arms. When the children of God cast themselves into the arms of the Father, it brings Him glory, honor, praise, and pleasure. He is pleased to know that the sons and daughters of God have acknowledged that which has always been: in His arms is the only place of peace of comfort. In fact, to dwell in His arms of provision on a daily basis is the very reason that we were created. When we rely wholly upon Him, we are living our lives for Him. Thus, God is glorified in our dependency upon Him, as we echo the words of Scripture: "All things were created by Him and FOR Him." (Colossians 1:16b)
MAY THE CHILDREN OF GOD DWELL IN THE VERY PLACE THAT GOD INTENDED FOR THEM TO BE: IN THE FATHER'S ARMS.
