Comforting hugs 12

God is in his holy temple. He is a father to those whose father has died. He takes care of women whose husbands have died. God gives lonely people a family" (Ps. 68:5).


I have heard many people of all ages say that they feel like an orphan when their parents or whomever was their care taker dies. I want you to know that God understands.


I have heard women say that they feel like half of them died the day their husbands died. They also feel unprotected and cared for after th...at. God wants to know that he is there for you, protecting and caring for you.

We live in a culture where parents are not always in a child's life; divorce leaves people caring for kids without the other parent; and many people are states away from the comfort of their family. All of these situations have made us a nation of lonely people. BUT the good news is that God had said that he would always be there for you! If you are lonely and in need of the love of a parent, spouse or family, just climb up into God the Father's lap and sit there for a while. He would love to lavish His love on you! He also has his family, it is the family of God. Feel free to reach out to those in it.
