nagging thoughts

Lately its been the patient, calm voice of my dad saying ‘be with me’.  My dad always wants to be with me.  He’s always trying to look in my eyes just to show me his own eyes full of love and affection.  As a man, this affection and ‘intimacy’ is awkward.  I didn’t grow up with this kind of dad, and now with my heavenly dad it all seems just strange.  However, i know that when I do look into His eyes, it all makes sense.  When I take the time to look into His Word, the very place my dad lives, he gets a kick out of the simple things- watching me play, watching me fall, watching me pick myself up, etc.  A lot like my 1.5 year old son…I love watching him laugh, smile, cry, feel pain.  not that I want him to go through hard things, just that I love to see him live as a spitting image of his old man.

what a Great dad I have who gave me His own Son, that through Jesus I would have a ‘no boundary’ relationship with Him.  Thank you Jesus that you gave me a chance to know your dad, so that we would be in the same family experiencing true and total intimacy.
