Holding Close...

‎"Draw me close to You....Never let me go..." (MWS) Dear God~I remember holding our children when they were babies. We always held them securely and lovingly. But if the wind was strong, or it began to rain, or if surrounding conditions required extra caution, we held them even closer as we took them to a safer place. Sometimes, when the storms of life surround me...and I feel the wind thrashing against my soul..or the danger of life's vulnerabilities and pain overcoming my heart, I imagine You holding me closer, too. May I remember that wherever I go and whatever I face on this journey, You are with me...always. "...Help me know You are near." ♥~thl
