This past weekend, when I was reading your entries, I was particularly struck by something Joy said her mother did when she was younger.
If Joy was troubled by something, her mom would dab some of her perfume on her daughter's wrist. Her mom told Joy this could be a reminder of the fragrance of her prayers that she would be lifting up for her throughout the day.
Truly, this was one of the most tender things I've ever heard of a mother doing for her child. I love this idea. And I plan to put some of my perfume on my daughter's wrist today. Actually, all three of my daughters.
Today, in the TerKeurst's home, trust smells like a light blue bottle from Gap called, "Dream."
2 Timothy 1:12, "...I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day."
believed... to have confidence in the truth
convinced... persuaded of; very sure; certain
able... having necessary power, skill and resources; having superior intelligence
guard... to keep safe from harm or danger; to protect; to watch over
entrusted... to give over to another for care and protection
Lord, I know You. Therefore, I can have confidence in your truth. I don't have to believe your truth hoping it will be. I have absolute assurance in your promises. I have been persuaded of your truth to the point that I am certain your plans are perfect.
Only you have the necessary power, skill and resources to handle every situation we face. Only you can watch over, protect and keep safe those we love.
So, I place each of my kids in your hands today. I give them over to you for your care and protection. As a mommy this is hard. But as a child of God, who believes and is convinced that you are able to guard, protect, and watch over...I entrust my most precious ones to You.
Amen.
Amen.
And all God's girls collectively say, Amen!
