I was a proud mama when my daughter, Kimberly, graduated from Aveda Beauty Institute with the highest GPA in her class. Then her classmates bestowed another honor on her when they voted for her to speak at their graduation.

Kimberly carefully prepared and practiced to hone her presentation.

Ashlyn, her daughter, asked, “Are you nervous?”

Kimberly answered honestly, “I am.”

Ashlyn responded, “Do you want me to hold your hand?”

So precious!

But beyond precious, she understood something that we adults seem to forget…

Sometimes, we need someone to hold our hand!

Even when we are all grown up…

• Married…
• with a job…
• kids…
• a busy life…
• we still need a hand.

  Even when we are old…we still need a hand.

And God knows that.

He didn’t design us to live independent of Him. 

So Like a Good Father, He whispers…

I wanna hold your hand!

Sometimes, I want to do things my way and I struggle away from His guiding hand. (That has never worked well for me. When will I ever learn my Father, Almighty God Knows Best!!!!

He often whispers, so I must …

quiet my spirit, my mind and lean in to hear.

But when I listen… I know deep down in heart…I KNOW these words are true

“For I am the LORD”

These are decadent words; so savor them slowly…

deliberately

like you would a really luscious piece of choice chocolate.

For I am

the Lord

your God

who takes hold of your right hand

and says to you,

Do not fear;

I will help you.

Isaiah 43:13

It’s amazing what happens when I stand on that promise! …when I become aware that He holds my hand.

He quiets me.

• Peace and strength flow into me.
• Confidence.
• Hope.
• Faith.

Have you found that too?

He does more than hold our hand…

He helps us…

• on our job.
• in our homes.
• where you go.
• in every aspect of your life.
