"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."

To Your Embrace

I love hugs. I definitely wasn't always a hugger but I am for sure becoming one! There are some people that have really been bringing this out of me this year. I mean I literally run to hug some people now, which I kind of don’t how that escalated in my life so quickly! But today I just had this great excitement at the thought of the joy of what it will be like to one day be hugged by my Father. I was in church singing, and we came to this point in the words:

Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace

Maybe it’s a long ways off, but like the days when I would wait for my father to come home in great excitement, I can’t wait for the day when I will finally come home, and find myself wrapped in the arms of my heavenly Dad! But just like there was much to do as I waited for my dad as a kid (set up every game in the house so that we could play whichever one he picked as soon as he got home, or find a great hiding spot to jump out of when he walked in) my waiting will not be idle. God’s still doing a lot in my life before I am able to come home, but it was for sure nice to get a future glimpse of a beautiful moment with Him!!
