What Do You See?

I know I wrote up a post about this picture just a few days ago, but I couldn't help but think about it some more when I heard of a family that has had to endure the trial of losing a baby... Really, one of the most painful things anyone will have to endure in this life. 

What Do You See?

His arms are extended

His heart is exposed

He shuns no one away.

With this giant expression

He shares his love

For you

For me 

For everyone.

He calls out to all 

Who are laden with grief

Sorrow and pain

And need some relief

Come unto me

All ye who do labor

And thrust onto me you cares.

Our arms are extended

Our heart is exposed

He shuns us not away.

What the Lord giveth, he also recieveth... He gave us life and one day he will receive us into his arms... I can only imagine the day, when all is said and done and I will get to run back into his arms... the arms he has always extended out to me. I am so thankful for the life he gives us:) It is glorious and beautiful, even though, at times, the pain seems unbearable. Just remember that even Christ, the Son of God, himself, was comforted by an angel in his most painful hour... So, too, are we.

Luke 22: 42-44

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
