Every time I was in prayer I would imagine myself curling up in his lap and burying my head in his robes. When I worshipped I imagined him taking me out into a field to dance. <br /><br />I had spent so much time afraid to come back to him, afraid to come back to the stern rebuke of a "Father", but when I came back all I found was the loving arms of my Daddy.<br /><br />Isn't it wonderful?A Peculiar Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754215933325247678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-54765509548012420342010-09-07T03:24:59.486-07:002010-09-07T03:24:59.486-07:00We can see Satan's fingers all over that which...We can see Satan's fingers all over that which makes us mistrustful of men, can't we? He loves to put that stumbling block in our paths. I'm so grateful for a God who DOES loveingly sit with arms wide open no matter how many times we stomp our feet and refuse to come. <br /><br />I LOVE the picture that you drew of His heart beat. Just loved that... "this much".Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-68983638027397324072010-09-06T22:57:54.725-07:002010-09-06T22:57:54.725-07:00Hello, Merana.

But how wonderful that He is patient and loving and never does anything intended to harm us. We can trust the One who laid down His life for us.Dayle ~ A Collection of Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727194212928446402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-69085403117761803462010-09-06T16:13:40.144-07:002010-09-06T16:13:40.144-07:00Hi Merana:

I'm glad you've found the lovi...Hi Merana,<br /><br />I'm glad you've found the loving arms of "<b>Daddy</b>". I believe that God knows and understands the extent of the hurts each of us experiences and He gives us His loving grace; <i>which only Daddy can give.</i><br /><br />It's good to be a work in progess. Keep allowing Him to heal those old wounds and know how much He values you. As a man, I continue to read posts written by women about the hurts, pain and suffering they've endured at the hands of my gender.<br /><br />I'm often saddened by the things I read, and then I think of myself and I realize I've caused hurts too; <i>perhaps not in the same way or depth that some sink to but I was selfish, and I wasn't good at communicating.</i> I'm thankful that Christ is changing me, I'm no where close to the man He wants me to be but I too am a <b>work in progress</b>; <i>for that I'm most grateful.</i><br /><br />As you journey along with "<b>Daddy</b>", just know that he will guide you in all areas of your life. When (<i>or should</i>) the season for you to meet someone come, I'm confident that the Lord will provide someone who values the woman/mother you are.<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a><br /><br /><i>BTW: Did you change the background wallpaper? It looks different. I can't believe I didn't notice it before. In any case, I like the pattern.</i>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-72666501115423835232010-09-06T14:05:40.651-07:002010-09-06T14:05:40.651-07:00How thankful I am for a Father who loves me perfec...How thankful I am for a Father who loves me perfectly, not as the world loves, but better.
