Where does my help come from?

Original date written -- 3/29/10

I have these lyrics stuck in my mind this morning and I can't remember what song they are from! -- "Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord." -- I'm not even sure if that is how the song goes! Haahaaa! But, I like what it says. I have to remember that when I am struggling with a situation, I need to look to the Lord for help. I can not do it on my own. --Philippians 4:13 says... "For I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength." I love that verse!

In my devotional book this morning, I read that when I am hurting, or feeling lonely, or sad... I can go to God and snuggle in His loving arms for comfort. I love that visual!! I can just imagine myself all curled up in His lap, like a little girl curls up in her Daddy's lap.

I love how I feel when my hubby's arms are wrapped around me in a hug. It is such a comforting feeling. A "safe" feeling. That's how God hugs me, too... if I let Him. I can feel that same feeling of comfort.

Thank you, Lord, for your warm hugs and comforting arms! I love you!
