I have a little niece named Nora. She is five months old, and she is such a healthy, beautiful, and amazing little chub!
I love holding Nora, and she likes facing outward, and so I am thrilled to hold her and kiss the back of her little head. One of the most wonderful, joyful things is when she leans back and looks at me, to see who is holding her, and the joy and delight I get from seeing her face and her precious eyes looking right at me. It only lasts a moment, and only happens once in awhile, but it is awesome.
It made me think about how God is always with us, holding us. He is our loving Creator, Father, Savior, and Protector. He is always loving us, and we have no idea of all he is doing and the depth of his love. It's impossible for us to even comprehend his love because we are just humans, his little children who can't understand. He loves and loves and loves and finds such sheer joy in us. And occasionally, we take a moment to look at him, and I imagine that he is so full of joy and delight when we do that! We make him so happy and he would love us to just look at him all the time!
Good and loving God, please help us to spend time looking at you and to allow you to look upon us. We are your children, your total joy. Thank you for your love!
