I am grateful for my understanding of who God is and my relationship to Him. He is my kind and loving Father in heaven. He watches over me. I find great comfort in this truth of the Restoration.
Quoting from "The God Who Weeps" by Terryl and Fiona Givens,
"God's desire, so manifest in the texture of the created order, is to enlarge the sphere of human joy, and we discover the marvelous truth that our joy is His joy. What greater motivation could there be for us to seek out and secure our own, our friends', our families' happiness, then to know it adds to His. Truly, God has made us His central concern, and as long as humans live - He will share in all our sorrows. But He also shares in all our triumphs and joys. For He has set His heart upon us."
Isn't that beautiful? I love that last phrase. God has set His heart on me!
The refrain of a favorite song says it all.
He who knows each Sparrow
He who calmed the sea
He who cleansed the leper
He can comfort me.
He feels my suffering.
He knows my needs.
He who knows each sparrow,
Knows me.
