Can You Leave the Light On??

Can you leave the light on for me? That is such a simple request. Yet, for the one making the request it can be quite a life changer.

Take for instance the request that started this whole thought process, one of my granddaughters requested that I leave the hall light on for her tonite. Now what do you think I did? Yep, you're right, I turned it on and left it on, for her. Perhaps she was slightly afraid, or just wanted to see in her room a little better with the door cracked open, or maybe she just wanted to see if I would honor her request.

To me the request was so "minute" by todays requests standards but to her it was huge. I was glad to honor her request. Don't you think God has somewhat the same dilema and delight?

For us, our request may be a life changer. Perhaps we seek God's help in a critical situation we find ourselves in. Or seek direction in an important decision.

Or our request may simply be one of encouragement. We're beaten down due to life's circumstances so we just need a little touch from our Father.

Or maybe our simple request is just as simple as my granddaughters, "can you leave the light on?" We just need to see a little more clearly to bring us peace.

Do you think God cares about us that much? Do you think HE knows what we are going through and waits for us to cry out to HIM? How about you my friend, do you thik HE cares about you and your stuff?

From the pages of scripture, HE clearly outlines this type of love, care and concern for all of us. HE says the if we, being evil (selfish and self centered) know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will our heavenly Father do for those who trust HIM.

We have just come through Christmas where we know HE has sent HIS Son to be the Savior of the world and now we don't believe HE cares about us today?? Wrong thinking!

HE cares about us just as much today as HE did 2000 years ago when HE sent HIS Son. Go ahead, ask HIM. Call out to HIM today. You can do it. Go ahead try it, come on you can do it!!! "Father, will you leave the light on?"

Let me know what HE does!
Sleep tight...
