Jesus Arms are 1000 ply

Do you ever find yourself so busy that your body feels like its still moving when your standing still? Sometime we have days, weeks and even months where you feel like you are constantly doing something. For the past couple of weeks that was what it has seemed like for me between things I was doing or had to do I felt like my mind and body were in constant motion. I'm not as young as I used to be (LOL) and this kind of lifestyle can quickly take a toll on our physical as well as our spiritual body. This past Sunday in church as I was sitting in the pew listening to my amazing husband bring forth the word of God I was suddenly enveloped by what seemed like the softest caress. I felt weightless and calm, no stirring in my body or mind just peace. That my friend is what it feels like to be in the arms of Jesus. Matthew 11:28 says "Come to me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest." The feeling of experiencing true rest in the arms of Jesus was like being embraced with the softest of material. As I was sitting in service I tried to put a tangible item with this feeling I was experiencing, the first thing I thought of was toliet paper. I don't know about your house, but in my house we are always looking for a discount or bargain. The clearance isle is our first shopping place in nearly any store we go into for anything from groceries to shampoo. However, when it comes to toliet paper we take all of our savings in the other areas to buy the softest most luxurious toliet paper. After getting married I was asking my husband what kind of brands he liked for certain grocery products, laundry soap, hygiene products and he said it didn't matter as long as we don't skimp on the toliet paper. A few weeks ago we decided to try this new ultra plush toliet paper and just holding it in your hand you could feel the softness and this softness was greatly contrasted with that cheap see-through toliet paper in public restrooms. But still the arms of Jesus are much softer than the most plush toliet paper money can afford. So remember when you feel unrest in your body and spirit ask God for his 1000 ply arms to embrace you and quiet you as his child. This week has been remarkable from that moment on as I continue to experience the softness of life in His arms. Psalm 91:4 "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."
