ARMS OF LOVE AND PROTECTION

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.”

Deuteronomy 33:27 KJV

Every time I get discouraged during the day, I go to bed and as soon as my head is on the pillow I feel God’s arms of love and protection go around me.  We have a loving compassionate Heavenly Father Who really loves us.  He cares when we are lonely and discouraged.  It breaks His heart to see us cry.

The next time you are lonely, hurting and discouraged allow our Heavenly Father to comfort you.  He loves you so much He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for your sins so you may be saved and spend eternity in Heaven.  What a privilege is ours to be loved by our Heavenly Father. 

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God” (2 Corinthians 1:3,4).

When we see people who are lonely, hurting and discouraged, we need to comfort them just as God comforts us.  The best way to comfort and encourage them is to not only tell them that God loves them, but also to prove He loves them by our kind and loving actions.

Heavenly Father, thank You for caring about us, for loving us and for comforting us.  I love You, Heavenly Father, and I appreciate all You have done for me.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
