A Tender Kiss
Wow. Can I just say that God is good?
Here I am, Sunday afternoon, listening to some wanna-be-in-love pop music, and worrying over a guy... and my dad just out of the blue comes over to me outside at the little table in the shade where I am working and gives me the most tender little kiss on my forehead.
He said, "I was just thinking of you and felt like I needed to give you that."
I literally have the best dad in the world!
Honestly, it made me cry, and reminded me that we have a Father in heaven who loves us too. He sees us when we hurt and cry and He knows what's on our mind. When our heart is swollen with hurt, He too is leaning over to kiss our forehead.
Sometimes, as young women, we don't guard our hearts as precariously as we should. I am first in line to be guilty here, no matter how hard I try. But, we have no condemnation through Christ- He is lovingly ready to let us come to Him for healing. In response to Christ, we as young ladies need to give our hearts back to Christ. Over and over. Because I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to try and take my heart matters into my own hands!
Lord, help me to trust in You with the matters of my heart. Help me to guard my heart and to remember that even though things are not necessarily happening the way I want them to, You have a plan and a purpose for me. You see the desires of my heart. Help me to remember that Your ways are higher than my ways.
Love,
Melissa xoxo
