SAFE

I was asking the Lord for a word to hold onto this week. I heard the word "Safe" resonate in my spirit.

When I think of the word safe I think about when I was younger. I would be tormented by bad dreams and wake up in a panic. I would immediately get up and climb into Stephanie's bed. I would shake her awake and she would groan. After I explained she would always lift up her blanket and let me get into the bed with her. Once her arms were securely wrapped around me, I would be able to go to sleep.

I felt safe.

Today I still feel safe when I am wrapped in the arms of someone I love. A lot of the time I associate safety with that picture.

Here's a thought:

Jesus constantly has his arms wrapped around me.

That is such a comforting thought.

But do I live like it?

Do I live like I'm safe? Not because I am safe in my circumstances but because Jesus is with me? Do I live with abandon believing that if the Lord has His arms around me and I am doing His will I'll be okay?

Honestly... I don't.

But I want to! I want to live like I'm safe in my Father's arms. I want to live with abandon believing that Jesus is with me! I want to live like I'm safe!

Jesus? Can you help me live like I am safe? I want to trust you this way! Please help me.
