Rest in His Love

1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

If you seek and desire

A life truly blessed

Free of worry and care

And never depressed

Then there is a secret

You simply must know

And from this knowledge

Your joy will grow

Our Father loves us

Beyond all comprehension

More than you can imagine

Or words can mention

But we must learn to live

In the light of His love

And each day anew

Draw it down from above

Wrap yourself in it

Like a cozy blanket of fluff

And draw it ever tighter

When living gets tough

Put it on like a favorite robe

Or fuzzy slippers well worn

And just rest in His love

Like a sleeping newborn

Father, Teach me to live in the light and warmth of Your love today. And to remember that no matter what I face, Your love is a constant that will never fade away. Let me feel it around me like a warm blanket against the cold – and to know that Your affection for me will never grow old. In Jesus’ name. AMEN
