Emly's Birth

Posted by Emmanuel at 03:19 AM on May 16, 2009
Emly is my daughter who was born on March 13, 2009. Becoming a Father is such a blessing. It is a real life changing experience especially as I learn more what it is to care for this little girl. I see her grow everyday, and she has been changing. She has her own schedules of things though. She sleeps and wakes up at the wrong times. When she is awake, whether you like or not, you will just end up in her room.
However, with a pacifier in her mouth, she can go back to sleep as you play some music for her. She loves being touched and whenever she is in our bed room, she rarely cries. I believe that voices of people make her feel comfortable and secure. Is this not all about comfort, security and safety that we all are after?
In John 14: 15-31, Jesus is telling his disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit. He says that “I will not leave you orphaned” in verse 18. This is that God will send God’s Spirit to give comfort and assurance that they will never be alone. Not only that the Holy Spirit will come as Comforter, but also as the Advocate.
I would like you to just think about the following:
• No matter what, God, as your Parent, is attentive to your single little cry.
• Every time, you are hurt, God is just there with you, touching and holding you in God’s hands.
Be blessed always!
