When
there is that sudden realization that this special experience includes the God
who holds his children in his arms and carries them close to his heart, the
gift of love is magnified beyond anything words could describe.
To be
held in the arms of God, while holding a child in one’s own arms, giving a
glimpse into how the adult looks in the arms of the Father, moves the heart
with wonder that leads into the purest worship. The heart simply knows that
love that surpasses knowledge.
When
an adult mind suddenly feels like a little child, somehow realizing something
of the glory of God in the face (and arms) of Jesus Christ, the wondering smile
is an expression of praise that may bring to mind a whole symphony of songs,
while not requiring any songs at all to express to God how much we love him
because of how much he loves us.
And
then the child looks into our eyes, and we suddenly realize, in a strange and
delightful experience, that God sees us looking at him in the same way. What a
gift, that grace would so transfer us from the kingdom of darkness into the
wonderful light of God’s love that we could feel like beloved children who
love.
