Lenten Devotion Day 32
SURROUND
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time on and forevermore.
Psalm 125:2
Nothing makes for a greater day than to snuggle on the sofa with loving arms wrapped around you...watching the ACC tournament :) Ok, the basketball is irrelevant (to this post at least - although my team is winning at the moment - Go Heels). What matters is the arms wrapped around me. Tomorrow marks 23 years in which those arms have been wrapped around me. I cannot express the feelings of blessing and thanksgiving that accompany that statement. I sometimes feel guilty that some never find intimate love and yet I have had it so abundantly for so long. I hate to be greedy...but I love to be loved.
When I think of the feeling of abundant love that comes from my husband's arms surrounding me, I can't help but feel awe at the thought that God's love also surrounds me. While my husband must occasionally let me go...God never does. The immense love that I feel from my marriage pales in comparison to the love of God that surrounds me every second of every day.
I pray that your Lenten journey has been one in which you find yourself surrounded by God's love. In the midst of your reflection and repentance I hope you have felt the forgiveness of God enfold you.
May his arms
SURROUND
you
and may you feel abundantly loved.
