I believe God has even given me a vision, He picked me up and sat me on the Lap of His Love and was holding me. I could see me on His lap his white robe, I could see His hands, my ear was against His heart, I felt our hearts beating as one, but I could not see a face.
I needed that vision it was so awesome, we had just lost two of our precious children in an auto accident and a few years later our marriage did not survive the loss of our children. I begged my husband to stay in church and counselling with me, we did not need the grief of broken home on top of greif of losing our boys, but my husband listened to everyone else except God, and Godly counselling, I was devestated I found the highest place on earth at the feet of Jesus crying my heart out for God to "Please don't let me get bitter to turn the bitterness within me into something sweet as He turned the water into wine" Then I had that vision I seen God pick me up and set me upon the Lap of His Love and He was holding me. I don't care who thinks I'm crazy! If God had not of gave me such an awesome vision I don't think I could of survived all that heartache and greif. Im a survivor only because of the Love of God! He Loves us so much He has even inscribed our names upon the palms of His hands Isaiah 49:15-16

Thou art near O Lord (Psalm 119:151)

O Lord ...Thou hast done wonderful things (Isaiah 25:1)

What you have said is beautiful. To be in the Lap of His Love held by the Saviour is the place I long always to be. He alone is able to turn our sorrow to peace and joy.

O Lord may we all open the ears of our hearts to Your voice of love. May we fall into those Everlasting Arms and lean upon Your breast. And when the noise of sorrow, pain and grief are loud in our minds, may we listen for that lovely whisper of Your voice that draws us closer to You.

Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us..Psalm 99:17
