PLEASE HUG ME

“COMFORT ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.”
Isaiah 40:1 KJV

Everyone needs to be hugged even if they won’t admit it.  The person who says he or she doesn’t need anyone or anything is not being truthful.  Even Jesus needed friends.  When a baby is born, he or she cries and the mother holds the baby close to her heart and hugs and comforts the baby.

Have you ever had a day when it felt like everything was going wrong and you desperately needed a hug?  I have had days like that but I didn’t want to tell anyone I needed a hug.  God tells us to comfort His people.  How do we comfort people?  We comfort them by loving them unconditionally and by our hugs.

Sometimes we need to talk to someone but it is the middle of the night and we don’t want to call.  Our Heavenly Father never sleeps.  We can call Him day or night and we won’t wake Him because He is waiting for our call.  “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Psalm 121:4).

Have there been times when you wanted your children to talk to you but they were playing games on the computer or watching television?  God wants us to talk to Him but there are times when we are too busy doing the things we want to do.  If we are too busy to talk to God, we are too busy and we are hurting Him.

Heavenly Father, thank You for all the times You have hugged me and comforted me.  Please help us to be comforters to one another and to love each other unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love.  I love You, dear Father.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
