My favorite person ever is amazingly strong, He’s indescribably beautiful, He has unending love for me, He’s the best friend any person could have. He made the world around you, He made you and I. My favorite person’s name is God.
I can’t wait to get to heaven and get a hug from God. I mean, He’s God, so He has to be the best hugger ever. Think about the person here on earth that gives the biggest, sweetest bear hugs ever…then times that by about a gazillion. That’s probably a little bit of the equivalent to God’s hugs.
There are so many people on this earth who want just one good friend. They want someone who will never stop loving them and won’t ever leave them. People yearn for companionship. Don’t they realize that the one person who could provide the best companionship is God? He said "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)” He will NEVER leave! Yet people walk away from Him all the time. I’ve done it before, I’m not proud to say.
Think about this. The biggest, most powerful being in existence, the one who made everything, including you and me, would send His Son to die on the cross even if nobody but you were the only one who accepted Him. He would sacrifice His Son’s life, just for you. I can’t even seem to wrap my mind around that. Me, the person who sins every day, who has walked away from God, who has done so many things she’s not proud of, is worth everything to God. To Him I’m everything. To Him YOU are everything. Just that thought is enough to bring tears to my eyes and make me want to see Him even more.
Thank you, God…for everything.
Sincerely,
Kirstin Tucker

ReplyDeleteI was just contemplating that verse yesterday. It's so beautiful. I was thinking, "Gosh, we are never going to be lonely. NEVER!"
Thanks for this post. I haven't thought about hugging God but it's a really great thought. :)
Maybe this is corny, but sometimes when I"m sitting in the sun or in the wind I feel like they are kisses and hugs from heaven. I know, I know, that's weird, but they can be so invigorating and refreshing that I just can't help to feel that God is loving me.
Great post, gal!
