a dog loves.
my little Bella loves.
she shows affection by
licking.
cuddling.
playing.
waking me up so I don’t waste the day away.
having the cutest face ever.
letting me hug her whenever I want.
giving me a reason to run around and be goofy.
keeping me company.
playing games with me.
making me laugh.
making me cry.
making me spend more time with my loved ones.


 

Those are all the things that make me happy. 
 
If Jesus were here on earth with me,
I would want to do all these with Him.
(with the exception of licking and cuddling, of course!)

Every single day that I get to spend with Bella, I am never without a smile. 
Through her furry embrace, I remember what it feels like to be loved over and over again. 

I pray that I will yearn for my relationship with Jesus and my Father to be the same way.  
 
Even though I cannot touch or see my Savior and my Provider,
through His word I can feel the same embrace.

The precious words… the precious love story… in each page of scripture
are what I want to long for every single day.  

I want to need to read every single word over and over.  
I never want to get enough of its goodness.

I want to wake up thirsty every single morning and then be quenched by the words…
t
he powerful words of the Bible. 
I do not want to desire any other before my God.


 
“…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”  John 4:14
