I love seeing my young mama friends proudly show off their babies in milestone photos \u2013 at two weeks, one month, two months, etc. Every picture radiates love, joy, and a whole lot of sleepless nights. But despite the exhaustion, they dote on those little ones with unwavering devotion — as they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These precious babies are soaking in love, day by day. And then, something beautiful happens. One day, that little one finds their words and says, \u201cMommy\/Daddy, I love you so much! You\u2019re the best mommy\/daddy in the whole wide world!\u201d (Cue the happy tears.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, not long after, they add, \u201cThank you for keeping me safe. Thank you for my warm bed and peanut butter sandwiches. Thank you for always being here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sound familiar? That\u2019s a page straight out of Psalm 23: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” aka “I have everything I need.” Isn\u2019t it a tender thought? A child so secure in love that gratitude just overflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, flip that picture. You and I are God\u2019s children. And He delights in hearing those same words from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often do we pause to say, “Father aka Daddy, I sure love You!” Not out of habit or obligation, but from a heart that truly knows we are loved beyond measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way I love to connect with God is by personalizing Scripture — letting His words become my own prayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank You, Lord, for being my Shepherd. Thank You for leading me beside quiet waters. Thank You for restoring my soul. Thank You for guiding me when I feel lost.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s having a heart-to-heart with our Heavenly Father, pouring out love and trust just like a child does with their parents. And let\u2019s be honest — when a child runs into our arms with pure love, we want to scoop them up and lavish them with even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today, let\u2019s be that child — delighting in Him, resting in His love, and whispering, “Daddy, You are so good!” Because I have no doubt — He loves hearing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
