PART 5: Profile...God Description...Comforting

Ahhh. Soft. Comfy. Cozy. Warm. A place where you can just sink into the warmth to get away from all days stress. It may be expensive but the time you spend there is worth it. It is also used to family times and your precious head will you take a nap even though you arent a child anymore. But about all else this thing brings you comfort even when your days dont. I hope i just described your favortie couch. When we do that running leap onto our favorite couch we dont even think about if it will be comfty because we already know that it will be. So we jump without the fear of falling. Just like we jump without the fear of breaking our couches we need to jump right into the arms of God without the fear of him dropping us. It might be hard to believe that such an important guy can comfort every single one of us, but he was made for that. we all go through those days that feel like life is worthless. And you wonder why you even are friends with those you call your friends. These are the times where you dont want to fight anymore and you just want to fall so someone can catch you. Chances are you dont have people that are running around waiting to hold you when your world crumbles. And even when you do, that doesnt always satisfy your hurt. We are to rely on people and be there for others so we can have relationships with our brothers in christ. But we are to be comforted by one that we cant physically see. When i go through those rough times i have some close friends that i can run to for a big comforting huge but that doesnt always satisfy me. There are times when i wish that i could just grab a hold of God so that i could just cry in his arms. We can! I know he isnt "here" like our friends are but he is in a different way. And i do "run into" Gods arms. It might sound dumb or corny but try what i do...when you lay down at night relax and just look up and close your eyes. Just talk to God in your head and just fall into his arms. Imagine that he has his arms around you and sooner or later you will feel a warmth take over your heart. When i do this, tears stream down my face because i know i am more than okay and i dont have even a 1% chance of falling once i am in his grips. God is our ultimate couch. He is beyond the quality of a lazy boy recliner without the extreme cost. The only thing you have to give up to him is your heart and he will craddle that with all of his love. this week think about what makes you cry out for comfort. Is it friends, love, family, school, sports, or just everyday life that tugs at your heart? No matter what it is we all need comforting even when we arent hurting. And its great to go to those that we have built a trusting relationship with. But this week whenever you need some sort of comforting, let go wrap his arms around you. Comforting is one of several characteristics that god carries around. We all have our own personality traits that describe each and everyone of us. But God has the characteristics that no human could carry around and that because he is the one that we get our personality from. We need to see that he has better insight and he wont drop us if he fall. so jump without the fear of falling. Word of the Day: "For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. " ~1 Thessalonthians 2:11-12
