Day Six: Wrap me in your arms

Wrap Me In Your Arms.
Michael Gungor




This image of God wrapping me in his arms is baffling me beyond belief right at the moment.

“There is a God who loves me, and wraps me in his arms”

WOW. Seriously?!

“and that is the place where I am changed, and that’s where I belong”

WHAT?!

I want to be there so badly!! I need to be there so badly! It is the only safe place; the only secure place. I am so glad that I can be there. I love that I can run to Jesus whenever I need to and he will allow me to be me and love me and speak tenderly to my heart when I am in the desert. I just need to stop pretending to have it all together. Because ::newsflash:: I don’t have it all together. That is more of a newsflash for myself. But yes.

Tonight I am reading the Gospel of Luke.
Basking in the words and promises of my Savior.

Tonight I am so thankful for grace and mercy.
I pray that I will experience the peace that goes beyond my understanding.


Tonight I am thankful for being able to rest in the arms of my savior with his arms wrapped around me.

Luke 1:67-79
67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied:
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
because he has come to his people and redeemed them.
69 He has raised up a horn[c] of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David
70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),
71 salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us—
72 to show mercy to our ancestors
and to remember his holy covenant,
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,
and to enable us to serve him without fear
75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
