Do you need a squeeze from God?
Do you feel squeezed?
It seems like we all feel squeezed for time, money, chores, work,
etc. You feel squeezed with deadlines,
activities, schedules, delays, and such.
When it seems like you just completed a task or issue, another one comes
along.
It is at this point when we fall on our knees to feel a
gentle kind of squeeze from God. A
squeeze of love from God meant especially for you. He can give you a squeeze full of love. It is so much that it is like having a big
hug. God gives you also a squeeze of
joy. It can be the laughter of your
child, lick from a puppy or a big thanks like statements of “no cancer” or “I do”
or “Welcome home.” Another squeeze God
provides is a squeeze of peace. When everything
seems like chaos, but your heart sings songs to God that is when you know God’s
peace is within you. You feel it when
you are in pain, but share encouraging words to others in need. When we give it all to Him, you can find
peace. God can give you a squeeze of
patience. The knowledge that everything
is done in His time and not yours, allows you to have the patience to wait and
see where He will take you. It takes
patience to bend down and retie your child’s shoe (again), but it may be at
that time your child needs to feel loved and that little act was their
reassurance. Traffic may try your
patience but it may be the time you need to say a prayer for a sick
friend. Kindness is another squeeze each
of us could use in this world. We must
desire to be kind and good. If we look
for opportunities to show kindness and goodness to others, you receive another internal
squeeze from God. Saying please, holding
someone’s hand, helping a friend in need, speaking kind words and doing
something each day to make the world a little nicer are acts of kindness and
goodness. How about a squeeze of
faithfulness? When you promise to pray
for a sick friend, call a family member for encouragement and faithfully study
spiritual readings, you are showing acts of faithfulness. Knowing that God is proud of you should give you
a big squeeze. God alone can fill the
desires of your heart and squeeze out the chaos of the world. Do you need a fresh squeeze? Pray.
Have faith,
Athena
