One night, when my son, was 3 years old...My husband and I were getting ready to go to bed. We decided to go in and check on him as he slept.
We went over to his bed and just stared at him.
He looked so cozy and sweet as he slept. He had his favorite Winnie the Pooh and Piglet pillow, his stuffed animal of his choice for the night under his little arm and his favorite blanket covering him. He looked so peaceful and safe as he slept.
We reached out and touched his little cheek and forehead and whispered to one another....
"He is so precious, I love him so much." We both felt tears rise to our eyes as we looked at our precious child.
Then we heard our Lord say to us, "That is how I feel about you."
His voice was so loving and compelling, complete acceptance and unconditional. Nothing required of us to receive that love or to have that moment. Just like our love pouring over our son as he slept, so is Jesus' love for us, all the time. We felt it deep within our very being and the understanding of that love for us.
Tonight when you go to bed, think about that love He has for you. As you lay down, take a moment and see in your mind, Him touching your sweet face softly and whispering to you just how precious you are to Him and how much He loves you. Then fall asleep in that love.
