Don't hide

When I was a little girl I got in trouble a lot. My mom was looking for me I was hiding under my crib. I was like Jonah in the Bible; he tried to go somewhere else to hide from God. But he realized that he can’t hide from God because God is everywhere.


Now that I am grown up I realized that nobody can hide from God, not even me. Jonah 1:3 says, “But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.” (KJV)

God tells us there, that Jonah ran and hid from God. I did that same thing and my mom found me. God says that if you hide He will find you because He is omnipresent. Omnipresent means that God is everywhere.

Proverbs 15:3, “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”(KJV)

There is no reason to even hide from God because He loves you and He will help you through the situation that you are in. Even when I was hiding from my mom she always knew right where I was and she showed me that she loved me. :0)

1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”(KJV)

The Tribute

Blessed with a priceless gift,
Into this world I came;
Born not into wealth,
Nor royalty, nor fame,
But given so much more;
A truly priceless treasure—
A Daddy who gave all to give
Much more than I can measure.

Dad, you gave me Time and Truth;
Such rare commodities.
My lullaby was laughter,
As gentle as the breeze.
You wrapped your arms around me
Every single day!
You taught me how to Love!
You taught me how to Pray!

You taught me how to Sacrifice
With willingness to Give;
The value of a Sincere Heart
Taught me how to live.
As my childhood tears were dried
By your silly, Daddy smile,
But yet I saw tears in your eyes
When you walked me down the aisle.

Years have passed too quickly
And now I am all grown;
No longer a little girl,
I have children of my own.
So often now I find,
Across the miles between,
Your words have grown into my soul
More than you ever dreamed.

Through many times of trial
You’ve felt the hand of God;
You’ve demonstrated Faith and Hope,
Though through the flames you’ve trod.
Daddy, there’ve been many times
That you’ve supported me
And I just wanted you to know
Your strength has set me free.

I’ve learned what matters most…
From virtues you bestowed;
Throughout my childhood and still now,
That patience that you showed.
It’s not always easy,
As you have oft’ told me,
But continue doing Right;
Keep living faithfully.

But always I remember,
And want to remind you,
Be Strong and Courageous,
The Lord will see you through.
They that wait upon Him,
Their strength He will renew
And when on Eagle’s Wings you soar
I’ll be with you too!
