One of the things I want my children to feel is loved. Along with being loved, is feeling safe, secure and cared for without end. Some days I’m more successful than others as I strive to accomplish this goal. As much as I love and adore my children, on most days anyway, I have no idea how many hairs are on their head, just how many hairs I have to clean out of the drain or vacuum off the floor.
Imagine a loving God who created the universe, but still knows on a second by second basis the number of hairs on our head. He even knows the number of hairs on my head after I pull a few out helping my kids locate their stuff. Matthew 10:30 states, “And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” (NIV).
To know the number of hairs on our head, God must love us deeply. A soul deep love. The loving connection I have with my family and friends, doesn’t hold a candle to the connection God wants to have with us. God wants to connect with us, spend time with us. For someone who knows the number of hairs on our heads, are we willing to spend time with Him and allow Him in our heart or more importantly, leadership in our lives? It’s a daily, if not minute by minute struggle to turn my will over to God, my pride over to Him, if He knows the number of hairs on my head and probably the number I dig out of the drain and vacuum off my floor, I’m willing to work on it with Him? Will you join me?
