“Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;” Isaiah 59:1 (ESV)

The father and son pictured above are my middle son, André, and his boy, Jayden, 3.5 years old. The picture was taken during the wedding reception for my youngest son, Lukas, and his new bride, Jessica. André’s wife, Liz was the official wedding photographer, and she captured this special moment.  Jayden  needed some one-on-one time with his daddy right then and there on the dance floor, minutes before it was swarmed by guests eager to burn the calories they ingested during dinner.   It was evident to me that from Andre’s 6’2” stature, he had to bring himself down to his little boy’s height to get the hug and kiss Jayden was trying to give him. As for little Jayden, he stretched his little body as much as he could so he could reach his daddy’s neck. 

At times, I have felt like little Jayden in this picture, so thirsty for my Father’s embrace, that I felt every fiber in my body stretching in order to reach out.  I’ve been anxious that perhaps He wouldn’t be able to hear me, let alone notice that I needed His undivided attention. no matter whether a hundred people around me stopped to see what I was doing or even judge my actions. BUT the awesomeness of our God is such that He does not measure His love for us based on our actions, our circumstances, nor the place where we are at the moment.  Instead, God is loving, caring, and attentive to EVERY ONE of our needs. Despite the loudness that may be deafening to our human ears, God hears our plea.

“Father, life can be tough and the road sometimes gets treacherous filled with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but you are greater than ALL those things together.   Your arm is not too short to save nor Your ear too dull to hear.”

For His Glory
