choose to feel

think i blogged a little too much today but i just wanna share my thoughts on what i read today.. it's nothing about any kinetics or dynamics but rather, how my tots on 2 different days seemed to coincide a little..

met sally yesterday and i was just telling her, how when God made us parents, in a way He's allowing us to feel the pain that He goes through too as our heavenly Father.. how we choose not to listen to Him but choose to do things our own way.. and how He knows that our choice is not right but yet He allows us to go through it even though it pains Him... and how we choose to reject Him and stray away.. and yet when we come crying to Him, He will just take us as we are, into arms wide opened.. in the same way, how we choose to disobey our parents and yet they still love us just the same.. just like how our Father Almighty loves us too..

missed my morning devotion coz i woke up late.. but i read it at the end of the day instead.. today's passage is taken from Hosea 11 on, God's love for Israel.. as i read it, it's just weird how you can feel the Father's pain of His children rejecting Him and yet He is still that gentle Father, taking care of them, gently drawing them back to Him.. the writer for today's reading wrote that, when we choose to feel the full range of our emotions, we come to a fuller understanding of the God who created us in His image - the image of One who feels..

isn't it just so great that we have a Father that still cares for us at the end of it all?? but it's really His grace that gave and still gives us this hope.. and He will still take me as i am..
