A Father's hug

Today I was soaking in His presence and the song I was listening to by Kim Walker was talking about being embraced and held tight by the Father. I was thinking about this and realized that's why my father should hug me as much and for as long as possible.

A dad needs to hug his children for long periods of time and tell them and express to them just how much he loves them. This way it is easy for us to imagine how much God loves us. Its hard to imagine someone can love you as much as God when everyone on earth rejects us and abandons us. I don't know how to be enveloped by God because I've never been enveloped by someone on earth.

You can't get this from a boy because it's not a pure love, its not an unconditional love, its not complete accepting love. God accepts us and wants to wrap us in his unconditional love that has no end.

Below is a song that depicts exactly just how much God loves you. Listen to it after you read it, its powerful. And then go find your dad and get a good hug from him. http://searchservice.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=sitesearch.results&type=Music&qry=Kim%20Walker&musictype=1

Here's the lyrics to How He loves Us by Kim Walker
He is jealous for me Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me. Oh, how He loves us so Oh, how He loves us How He loves us so. Yeah, He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves. So we are His portion and He is our prize, Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes If grace is an ocean we're all sinking So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way That he loves us, Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves He loves us, Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves [Whispered]: Well, I thought about You the day Stephen died and You met me between my breaking I know that I still love You, God, despite the agony ...they want to tell me You're cruel But if Stephen could sing, he'd say it's not true, cause...[voice breaks]... Cause He loves us, Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves Yeah, He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves us Woah, how He loves
