When you are five or seven, a
broken heart, a monster haunting a dream, a stubbed toe can all be comforted
wrapped in the arms of the one who loves you the most. Comfort is the warm lap of the woman who would give her life for
you and whose tears mingle with yours because she can't bear to see you
hurting.
But where do
thirty-five-year-olds go when they are too big for momma's lap, or momma lives
too far away, or they are simply too
grown-up to crawl into a parents' arms for comfort? Are hearts not broken after
childhood? Do monsters not haunt our dreams any longer? Do we not hurt
physically and emotionally anymore?
When you are thirty-five, a
broken heart, a hurting body, haunted dreams, and shattered hopes can be
comforted in the arms of the One who loves you the most. Comfort is found in the Word of the One who gave his life for you
and whose tears mingle with yours because He can't bear to see you hurting.
He is your Father, your Abba,
your Lord. And like a child you can come and find the comfort you seek in the
arms of your Savior.
"But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is
quite with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me."
Psalm 131:2 (NLT).

See now, THIS is beautiful! I am amazed at what you can express with a prompt and five minutes. This is why it surprised me that you posted about struggling with feeling "lesser than" in writing, You are so gifted and I'm glad you decided to stare that lying monster down.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright
infringement? My blog has a lot of unique
content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
