love in my ears

this friend of mine just posted a note/blog that i thought was pretty cute - it was some sort of "mom interview" type thing. she asked all three of her kids a series of questions, and her youngest, abby, (four years old) answered this question in such a cool way.

q: how do you know your mom loves you?

a: abby-you love me because i hear it in my ears.

not only was that answer so adorable, but it also brought me back to a topic that i've been wrestling with for a while now, and a lot more as of late.

it's hard for me to wrap my arms around the idea of God loving me, and being in love with me, when i can't see him. when i can't hug him. when i can't feel him all the time. how can i be in love with someone that i can't even hold on to?

my struggle is purely physical. God is something beyond my touch, therefore i doubt his intentions.

i can't hear God unless i am still. abby is four, and she can be still enough to hear her mom's love in her ears.

i want to hear His love in my ears.
