Rest with me.

I care deeply for you, my child. There is nothing that you feel or experience that I don’t also experience as I carry you through life. My hand is upon you, and nothing will take you away from my love. Quietly wait on me, and you will feel my nearness. You will hear me whisper into your soul, and my peace will descend upon you.

My little one, there is a hiding place you can find in me. It is a place of my tangible affection, created for you to dwell in. The shadow you see over you is the shadow of my wings—not a shadow of confusion, but a shady place of safety beside my heart. Here you will be refreshed. Here you will see from my perspective. For I have taken you from troubled waters and lifted you higher to rest in my presence. No matter how dark the night or how fierce the trial, my kiss of mercy will keep and protect you.
