GOD’S HUG

Deuteronomy 33:27 NLT The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you.

There are days when we all just need a hug, don’t we? We don’t even know why sometimes, we just need to be hugged by someone who loves and cares about us, whether it’s a family member or a friend, or someone special to us.

God is saying He wants to be that special someone to us. When we come to the throne of grace, we’re coming to our loving Father, to the One who says we’re His greatest treasure, the apple of His eye. We’re coming to the One whose nail pierced hands are reached out in love to you and me, to wrap around us whenever we need them, 24/7, to hold us close. He wants to give each one of us a hug, and for us to hug Him back.😊

It’s something that goes far deeper than sentiment. It’s actually Spirit calling to spirit, it’s God saying we are one with Him now, one spirit with Him, united in Christ on such a deep level that nothing can take that closeness away.

When Paul says nothing can separate us from the love of God he wants us to know this is something we can’t experience in any other way, with any other person. When God invites us for a hug, we are coming home, we are being folded into Himself, wrapped up in a way that excludes anything that would try to harm us or bring us down.

Do you get the impression we need God’s hug every day?😊 Why not come to Him today and if you’re struggling or in a bit of a mess, just tell Him, and let Him minister His great love and grace to you. And if you’re full of joy on cloud nine, then share it with Him and let Him take you to Cloud 10!😊

God just wants you to know you matter to Him, far more than you realise, and He has a hug just waiting with your name on it. I think I’ll go and have a God hug! How about you?😊

Have a blessed weekend.x
