Babe Magnet Captures This Babe
Day 3 of 365 days of “Seizing the Moments” in photos this year.
What could be closer to our Heavenly Father than the purity and preciousness of a baby? This little angel was across the aisle from me on my flight from Seattle to Dallas today. His shirt said “Babe Magnet” on it. He was. He captured my heart and drew me to him the entire trip. I haven’t had a guy flirt with me like that in a very long time. LOL. He was a happy and peaceful baby all the way which made everyone around him fall in love with him, too.
As I watched the pride and joy that his daddy had in Him, I thought about the pride and joy we must bring to our Heavenly Father. This little charmer on the plane today was so loved by his daddy and that love was in no way performance-based. That little guy couldn’t do anything on his own, to merit any more love than he already had from his daddy.
Did you know the love our Father has for us isn’t performance-based either? We can’t do enough to settle the score, to merit His favor, or to deserve the ultimate price of love He paid for us. He loves us just because we are His kids, the sheep of His pasture, His pearls of great price, the apples of His eyes. There is no gift we could ever give Him that could repay His love, except for one gift. We can give him ourselves, totally and utterly devoted to Him.
I think I’ll slip on my “God Magnet” shirt so my devotion to Him keeps on making Him smile big at me as I bring Him pride and joy.
