Have you ever felt like God just reached down and gave you a big bear hug (or should I say God hug)? Has there ever been a time when you felt a little lost, a bit frustrated, or downright discouraged, when something happened that let you know that God was there, He was aware of your circumstances, and everything was going to be just fine?
That happened to us yesterday, and it's amazing how quickly our outlook did an about face in the light of that God hug. Nothing has really changed in our circumstances. We are still facing the same challenges as we were yesterday. But we know that we know that we know that we're not alone in our trials. We are surrounded and upheld by a God who loves us, who will never leave us or forsake us, and who will meet all of our needs. What could be better than that?
You never know when you might be God's instrument for a hug to someone in your life who desperately needs one on a particular day. Your words of encouragement and support, your offer to help in some small way can be a lifeline to a precious soul who feels completely alone in their troubles. Just knowing someone is praying for you and cares what you're going through makes the burden seem lighter!
So go out there and find someone to hug today!

God hugs! Yes! That's exactly what they are. Sometimes they come from other people, sometimes they come from Him. I love it when He makes Himself evident in my daily life.
Great post, Kathie!
