Dr. Larry Day, in his book Self-esteem: By God's Design gives a wonderful meditation exercise. He asks us who are parents to think back to those first days with our tiny infant; how we would tiptoe into their room and look with awe at that serene sleeping creature with such feelings of love and warmth and care. Those deep tender feelings of warmth and care are the same feelings God, our Father has towards us. We know that the innocent looking sleeping child will soon awaken crying and our tender feelings may go away for a while, but the tender feelings that God has towards us never change. Those deep warm feelings of love continue whether we are innocently sleeping or facing our daily struggles. The deeply felt emotion of His unfailing love towards us never changes.
The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
Psalms 103:13 (NLT)
