Run to me
Kalena is one of the most outgoing children that I have ever seen. She loves people and always tries to put smiles on grumpy faces! It is so fun to watch. At church, she doesn’t really want to held after church is over, she wants to run around and talk to people.
So what happened a few weeks ago, came as quite a shock. She was having fun, playing with little children, smiling and giggling at people and having fun. All of the sudden, I heard her scream. I started walking toward the direction of the scream, and she came running around the corner right towards me, with her arms stretched out wanting to be picked up by her daddy.
Something had scared her, and she needed rescued. She needed to be picked up and comforted. She buried her little head into my shoulder and was content to be held until everyone was gone.
As I was reflecting on the incident later, God spoke to me. “Son, there are so many times in your own life that you need to run to me like Kalena did to you. There are times that you try to do things in your own strength, when you don’t have to. There are times that you need to be strengthened, comforted, rescued. Run to me.”
