The prophet Hosea said that we are linked to God with cords of love, cords that cannot be broken. The gentle cords of His eternal love bind all our hearts and hurts to Him. What a thought to ponder. Hosea 11:4
I have never liked critters but we can learn from them. I am reminded of a little story I read of a certain spider. This kind of spider somewhat illustrates my thought for today. There is a certain spider that builds his nest in the branch of a small tree or bush. In this fragile enclosed space the baby spiders are hatched. If the nest is disturbed in any way, the little spiders will all rush out in fright. At once the mother goes to their side. She is alerted to their potential danger in a most unique manner. Each of the young ones has a thick silky strand attached to it, and all of these threads are joined to the body of the mother. When the babies are threatened by an enemy, they naturally scurry off, giving their lines a sharp tug. This is instantly felt by the adult spider. Within seconds she pulls them back to the nest where they are protected from harm.
Now isn't that just like our God. We are connected to Him that way. When we allow the enemy to frighten us, like the little baby spiders we scurry off. Our wonderful loving God will pull us back if we are His child.
When He says I love you we can know that He means it. It is an unconditional love that will keep us safe and connected to Him. Thank God, we have a Father who watches over us. Christ, like the spiders mother will pull us back to a place of protection in Him. Do you believe that? We are linked to God. There is no harm or words of any kind that can hurt us. We have a Heavenly Father that links us to Him with cords of love.
We are protected, no enemy can break though when we know our Father God is in charge!! Amen.
Give someone a hug today and tell them you love them and mean it.
God's cords of love hold you tight.
With Love, Joanie
