As I worshipped the Lord one day while driving, He opened my spiritual eyes for a small glimpse into His realm. I saw a huge majestic-looking room. A massive marbled staircase led up to the throne of Almighty God, who sat imperially on His throne. I could make out the figure of a man, but features seemed to disappear in the emanating radiance of this Light Being. God reached out His loving arms to a small child struggling to climb up the gargantuan staircase toward Him.

To this three year old, the staircase seemed colossal and quite an enormous feat. She climbed a few steps and stumbled. Climbed a few more steps and tripped again. Each time the little girl faltered, she would pick herself up and look toward her Heavenly Father. Finally reaching her goal, she didn't hesitate, but crawled right up in her Daddy God's lap. He instantly wrapped His big, strong, loving arms around her as she sank deep into His embrace, enjoying the peace and safety of a loving grasp only He could give.

Suddenly realizing the little girl was me, I had to giggle with excitement. The love and security I felt at that moment surpassed any devotion an earthly parent could give. Peace filled the inside of my car. I felt like a little child, without a care in the world.

Friend, I want you to realize today, if you are born again and have invited Jesus Christ to come into your heart, you are a child of the Most High God. His love for you is far beyond any earthly parent could give. As parents we strive to provide a loving, nurturing environment in which our children may grow and flourish. However, we are mere humans and fall short of our Father God's love.

DADDY GOD LOVES YOU with an everlasting love. No matter what you've done He will always be there, beckoning you back to Him. Have you fallen or made mistakes? Are you troubled with the cares of this life? cCrawl up into Daddy God's lap today and be wrapped with His big, strong, loving arms. Allow His peace and love to saturate you. Permit Him to kiss all the hurts and booboos of this life away.
