I absolutely love Olivia’s face in them. She exudes pure joy when she looks up at her “Papa.”
She loves spending time with him. She is overjoyed when she gets to play with him.
She loves knowing that he is looking down at her and caring for her.
She feels loved just by knowing that she is in his presence because she can feel his love.
There is a complete difference in her demeanor when Makia
isn’t around her.
Her smile isn’t as
bright, she is a little more quiet, a lot more whinny, she dances less, and she
sleeps much lighter.
She misses him, and
she constantly asks, “Papa? Papa?”
It got me thinking about how we as humans are wired to
yearn for the same type of love from our heavenly Father whether we realize it or
not. When we are in a relationship with
Him, Christ gives us more pep in our step.
When we face trials in our life, if our hope is truly in the Lord, we
should still be able to smile, dance, and be overjoyed because we should have
confidence that He is there with us.
Just like Olivia feels loved by knowing that she is in Makia’s presence,
so should we feel loved by merely knowing that if we call upon Him, He will
always be there for us. When we don’t
feel Him close we worry more and we get weighted down by the problems of the
world. Like Olivia calls for her father
in his absence so should we call upon our Father until we can feel Him near. These pictures were a great reminder of the
type of adoration we should all have with Christ and how we should all feel because
our Heavenly Father adores us all.
"Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it" Luke 18:17
