Up, Up, Up!

Pain seems far gone within the bright and shining eyes. The child rumples his hair and sticks out his tongue at his Father staring above him. Disheveled hair and a sticky smile, the munchkin extends his arms to the beaming smile towering above him. Oblivious to all around him he longs to be in the best place in the whole wide world, his Daddy’s big, strong arms. While an airplane crashes into a building beside him and evil men lurk in the shadows he is safe. Snuggled up on the burly shoulder with his Daddy’s beard tickling his neck he giggles in delight as he is carried through the creepy valley. Darkness is all around yet he is fixed like a moth to the brightness of his Dad’s smile. There is safety and peace in His arms, we can’t jump that high but He will pick us up to envelop us in the comfort of peaceful serenity against His beating heart. Its all He wants, to hold us against His brawny chest to tell Him what His heartbeat is saying.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. – Proverbs 3:5-6
