This morning when I woke up I heard my one year old niece running around in the house. I thought about how as soon as I open the door and start walking down the hallway she’s going to run to me for a hug and a kiss and will be laughing the entire time. Then she’ll take my finger and lead me to her next interest. Sometimes I can’t believe the joy that it brings her just to see me, and to have me embrace her each morning. You know what, it brings me so much joy knowing she’s there and the routine will continue, varying only by more or less cuddle time.
I think God is like that with us. If we run and embrace him every morning He’s more than happy to run to us, hug us, and let us lead Him to our next grand adventure, all the while smiling and laughing. He is that loving, and He’s our father. Why wouldn’t it bring Him joy to do so?
Today I chose to run to God, and then I got up and ran to my niece. What a beautiful morning.
