Having our grandchildren in our home several times a week has been such a blessing to Ana and I. For me, watching Ana care for our grandchildren, gives me little glimpses of how God deals with us and how much He loves us.
When the grandkids walk in the door Ana’s face just lights up with joy. I think that’s how God feels when we decide to spend some time with Him during our day. The Bible says, “He will rejoice over you with gladness.” (Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV).
Sometimes our grandson gets fussy and throws a fit. That’s when Ana takes him in her arms and rocks him to sleep, whispering how much she loves him, holding him close. In the same way, when troubles come our way and we’re feeling stressed and afraid, God promises He “will quiet you with His love…” (ibid).
Then there are the fun times, the silly times, when the grandchildren bubble over with laughter as Ana sings some silly song, like “Baby Beluga.” God loves making us happy and it says, “He will rejoice over you with singing.” (ibid)
No matter what challenges you face today, take time to spend with your loving Heavenly Father. Let Him rejoice over you with gladness.” Let Him “quiet you with His love” and “rejoice over you with singing.”
Have a wonderful day and remember this one thing – God loves you! He really does!
