Last night I couldn't sleep for coughing - so I eventually got up for a few hours.
My little dog faithfully wakes me up every morning, however, he was up with me last night. I woke an hour later then usual this morning and the little dog? He faithfully lay by my side and slept with me.
All he wants is my love, food and to play. How simple the life of a little dog is. Go outside and run after a rabbit or too, play with the other dog that has come to live with us. Or simply to lay on my lap.
He feels my love for him, he knows I will take care of him and love him. My actions will protect him from evil or harm. I will discipline him when needed, yet show him my love afterward.
If my love for this little six pound dog is so great - can you imagine how much greater the love of God is for us? He knows our every thought, our every action and watches with the loving eyes that only he can do. He is there to help us, if we will listen.
When me stumble and fall he watches and will only help if we want him too. He loves so much he allows us to make our own choices and decisions. They sometimes sadden him that we chose not to follow his way, yet he waits. He will never push us in his direction, but he will speak to us in a small still voice - if we are open to listen.
Are you open to that small still voice? Do you listen to see if he has something to say to you? If not, you need to return to the Father and ask him to forgive you for walking away from him. Like I said, he will NOT ever leave you, but you can walk away from him. He is there waiting, waiting for you to return to him arms.
