HIS Tangible Love

I was at a loss as to what to write for this blog today, so I sought the Lord about it. After my mind wandered around a bit, it seemed that it kept coming back to one place. God seemed to be reminding me that He wants everyone, everywhere to be consciously aware of His tangible love and affection for each and every one of us personally.

Not just the assurances of His love for us that we get from the Bible and not only the signs of His great creation around us. But rather the personal touch kind of love that each of us needs to sense from time to time.

Now you might be thinking that tangible means something you can actually physically feel. Or something you can see and then reach for. So it may be a stretch for some to consider this concept. But tangible can mean perceptible. And God so wants us to perceive His personal, individualized love for each of us.

He often demonstrates it to us through others and that is awesome. But I want to encourage you to look for God’s private encounters with you. When He speaks directly to your heart. When He holds out His hand of love to you to grab hold of or when He slips His hand into yours without you having to do anything. When He sings a song to you. When He pats you on the back. When He places His arm around you to draw you closer to His side or across you to bar you from harm.

He is so ardently in love with you. And like any one of us would, He wants us to be aware of it.

We all have different styles or seasons of expressed affections toward our loved ones. But when conveyed at their best we would hope that those we love would be delightfully aware of the depth of our love.

Let God love on you. Look for it. Expect it. Receive it. Delight in it. To quote a little talking bear I was given once, “The wind on your face might just be God blowing you kisses.”

Gratefully HIS,
