Isaiah 40:11(NIV) He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those who have young.
Recently, I read this verse, and it spoke so sweetly to me. Specifically, "He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart". I am always so grateful for the reminder that the Lord holds us when we need to be comforted.
After reading,I went in to pick up my baby, who was crying, and gently held him close to me and comforted him, as I did this the Lord gave me a picture of him doing this with me. In broken moments and weak place, he picks me up, and holds me close to his heart.
Something else that I always do when I'm holding my children is smell their head. I breathe them in, and it's always so sweet and calming to me. I imagined Him breathing me in, and being a sweet aroma to Him. He takes nothing from me as he does this, but it ministers to His heart and He cares for me.
