Yes- so odd I stumbled on this very thing. & TODAY of all days! Just this morning I was talking, actually crying out to a friend on the phone and she was sorta “counseling” me. & As she spoke- saying God wanted me to treat Him or talk to Him like a person . . . instead of this far off powrful “thing” in the sky————- I saw me hugging God while He was sitting—–I am assuming———– on His throne. & I was just laying there- tightly hugging, . . . just as you describe. I have been tnis child before, many times— but admittedly, maybe that is NOT where I have been. Maybe I have been holding that pharisee type maginifying glass over myself and therefore was at least hesitant to just run in and hug———————— and lay helpless———– and be vunverable, not knowing what would happen . . . hmm. Like I said, very odd I stumbled on this today. Thank you. —————————–Myabe confirmation

Wow, incredible way to see yourself with God, but so very true. I love that you’re contributing here and have made it a favorite for Mondays.

I love this image. I often picture God holding my hand.

Thanks for being so honest with your struggles Lundie.

What a wonderful and honest post. I wonder how often I take on the adult posture with God. Especially when I’m trying so hard to make him proud. Beth Moore wrote in her Believing God study how amazing it would be to know the Father turns to the Son at the end of the day and says “She believed me today!” How I long for that!

So true - we sometimes get such a wrong picture of our Daddy don’t we!

How true this is!! He is our Daddy and we are the child no matter how “grown up” we are. It is so refreshing when we come back to this postion with Him. When we get back to the place where we stop trying to figure it out, tying the fishing line more in knots, and finally hand it over to the expert. Thanks for the reminder. GOD BLESS
