Luke 15:20 So he got up and went to his father. "While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion. His father ran to him, hugged him, and kissed him. (Common English Bible)
I recently saw a man caring for a tribe of goats and their many little baby kids. He picked up each kid and hugged it close to his chest for several moments, then he picked up the next one and the next one, and did the same thing through the whole tribe. Each one was hugged and loved individually. It was a lovely picture of a good shepherd.
We all have a Good Shepherd and His name is Jesus. Now, may I ask if we've been to our Shepherd today to receive His love and His hug and dare I say His kiss? (Our verse says the father hugged and kissed his son.) Somehow we don't hear that mentioned much that God not only wraps His loving arms round us but also kisses us. It's quite a thought isn't it?
Maybe we'd all feel a lot better if we went and had our hug with Him at the start and end of every day, or at any point in our day or night when we need a loving hug.
Let Him draw you close and feel Him wrap His arms of love around you and hear Him whisper how much He loves you and know that all will be well, because God really does love you with an everlasting love.
Just relax and rest in His arms for a while today. Lean into Him and enjoy His hug and being loved by the One Who loves you so.😊
