Dear Malachi,

How I want you to know how sweet it is to trust in Jesus!   I held you a few nights ago for about two hours while you struggled to fall asleep. I don’t know why you had such a hard time with it, but I thought to myself that I would willingly sit and rock with you all night if need be.  I love to be your comfort, your safety.  And as I thought about how precious you were, I was reminded how the Father feels the same toward me.  He gently says to me, “I will hold you as long as it takes.  Whenever your heart is troubled, come, rest in me, lean on me. I long to be your comfort, your safety, your strength.”   O Father, thank you.  You are so good!  You are my comfort, my hiding place.  Right now Malachi, you don’t want me out of your sight.  Tears soon appear if someone is holding you when you want your mama.   I feel like that with the Lord.   I want to be held by Him and Him alone.  No one else can satisfy me as He can.  Little one, I pray you will come to know the sweetness of trusting in Jesus.
