Encouragement

If we could only see with human eyes what God sees in us, we would be FULL of Love so completely that it would eliminate hate of any kind.
Our Joy would be so Full that no words could ever describe it, and we would learn to laugh again with belly laughs, bone shaking laughs, the kind that hurt your sides and innards and you beg it to stop for awhile.
Our smiles would be so wide all the time that when we died it would take the undertaker 2 months to wipe em off our faces.
We would be so Full of purpose and destiny, and realize how special and important we are to God, regardless of our past failures.
Our Peace would pass any and all earthly understanding no matter how great the storm or trial may be, and finally we would see and know that God loves us so much and misses us so much, that He hurts when we are not near Him constantly.
My Uncle James used to say... "When you love someone, I mean really love them, you want to be around them all the time, and you will never give up on them or ever want them to be far from you even if they don't want to be around you or love you back."

I think that's how God feels about us.
Actually, I know because one time He awoke me out of a dead sleep and said "Wendell, get up."
Well, I got up but heard nothing after that.
I read my Bible to see if God want to say something to me there... Nope, didn't get anything.
So I prayed and said "Lord it's 3:00 am, did you want something from me?" No answer. So I said,, "Well Lord, you woke me up, and if you're not going to answer, I'm going back to bed."
It was then He spoke softly like His heart was breaking,, He said, "I Miss You."
I'll tell you my heart broke into a 1,000 pieces. I was so ashamed of myself because I had been so busy with a new job, I hadn't prayed or read my Bible in months and I felt like a jerk. The God of all creation,,,,, the Almighty.... the Great I AM, was lonely for little ole' no count for nothing me, WOW!
I cried and told Him I was so sorry and would take Him with me everywhere I go from now on, and I have.

I'll tell you all something else too, He is just as lonely for you! O' my yes, if we could only see ourselves as God see us we would never be nor think the same again.
Spend time with the Lord, don't forget to read his word for strength, and most of all, pray and talk to Him often, He loves and misses you so much.

There's and old song that goes like this.........
"Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father's throne,
Makes all my wants and wishes known,
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of Prayer."
