In time however, I do grow in love with this smiling watcher who is always there; who attends to my every need; who seems to know just what to do for me. I can do nothing for myself - I’m helpless and dependent. Yet this person loves me - indeed, seems completely enamored with me. I grow more in love as I see this selfless love showered down upon me. How can I not love the one who cares for me so?
Like a new mother, our Lord clothes us with His righteousness. Like a doting father, He watches over and guides us. We are helpless – we cannot save ourselves! Only by completely trusting and depending on our Heavenly Father can we remain in His presence.
Oh Lord, help my unbelief! I long for You, my Father!
As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you (Isaiah 66:13a)
