He will gather the lambs in His arms, He will carry them in His bosom - (Isa 40:11)
My Father understands and protects me
Philosophers often look for God in the ice-cold atmosphere of intellect, some spiritual disciplines look for Him in the heat of ecstasy, others in the silence of meditation - it is their choice. But spirit, mind and heart are equally the domain of our Father. There are times when we need the steadying effect of detachment, but there are also times when we need deeply to feel His warmth about us and in us. Then it is wonderful to know He is there, comforting and protecting us. We are His lambs, His children, and He loves us more than any earthly parent.
Our journey in Truth should not make us too prescriptive or hard on ourselves. Our moods, our ups and downs, do not exclude Him. In whatever state we turn to Him, He is there. Our task is simply to accept him. Truth teaches accepting God equally in Spirit, heart and mind, but the focus of our need changes from time to time, and Omnipresence ever accommodates us.
