Sweet Tender Love

Sweet Tender Love

There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping child. There are no lines on their face or frowns on their brows. Only a rest and a trust. Take a lesson from a child says the Lord and learn to rest in me also.

Even though there are so many things that you must do and cares that you carry, I want you to be my small child and to rest in my arms for a while. Let these burdens go now and let the lines leave your face and the struggles leave your heart.

For a moment come and rest in my arms and you will find strength to face the day once again. My child it is in my joy and in my rest that you will find the strength and the miracles that you are looking for.

The more you strive and try to do things yourself, the more you will keep falling on the ground and grazing your knee. When a child is weary, it knows to put its head down and to sleep. You must do the same now. Stop the striving and the pushing and just come and rest in my arms now.

Take a moment away from all the work and the noise outside. As you do this, you will sense my presence and feel my hand stroking your hair. In this moment you will know and understand how much I love you. You will understand how little I expect of you.

For just as a parent loves their child, how much more I love and adore you. I rejoice in the things you get right and I want to reach out when you fail and get things wrong. I am not there to judge you or to hurt you. I am there to heal you and to let you lay on my lap.

So come now to me my child. Be as that little baby and let me smooth away the lines on your face. Let me rub away the dirt and the bruises of the day. Then as you sleep in my presence, realize that there is nothing that you can do or think that will remove my love from you.

You are precious to me my child. I loved you enough to give my very life for you. So rest now and let me revive you. Let me show to you my love and adoration says the Lord.
