IN HIS ARMS OF LOVE

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

A little boy who was dying asked a teenage boy what it is like to die.  The teenage boy said “I think it’s like when we are little and sick.  We wake up and know that we’re not in our bed and we’re scared for a minute and then we realize we’re in our parent’s bed.  I think it’s like that with dying.”

What a beautiful explanation he gave to the little boy about our Heavenly Father.  We may be scared for a minute when we die and then we realize that we’re in His arms of love.  Dottie Rambo wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn “Sheltered in the Arms of God”.  It is one of my favorite hymns.  I love the words.

“Soon I shall hear the call from heaven’s portals “Come home my child, It’s the last mile you must trod” I’ll fall asleep and wake in God’s sweet heaven For I’m sheltered in the arms of God.”  What a promise and healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that we are sheltered in the arms of God.

Precious Heavenly Father, You are such a loving Father.  You really care about us.  Thank You for the promise and assurance that You are sheltering us in Your arms of love.  I pray that we will always do things and say words that will make You happy.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
