One Lucky Guy

God,

You must be the luckiest Daddy in the world – you have so many daughters who can’t think of any place they would rather be than here in your love. We just want to be with you. And somehow, you love each and every one of us. Overwhelmingly, wholeheartedly, and unreservedly. And you’ll never stop.


One of the most precious relationships to me is that between a father and his little girl. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. It’s the way a daddy so delights in his daughter, how he takes joy in making her laugh and seeing her smile. It’s how she naturally depends on him for protection, knowing she is absolutely safe wrapped in his big arms. It’s the twinkle in her eyes that comes when daddy gets home from work. It’s his pet names for her, because he has no other way to express how much he loves this bundle of joy. It’s the joy they take in each other, the love and dependence they find together.
“There’s no place I would rather be,
there’s no place I would rather be,
there’s no place I would rather be
than here in your love, here in your love.
So set a fire down in my soul
that I can’t contain, that I can’t control
cuz I want more of you God, I want more of you."
As I sang this song with a group of girls on a retreat this weekend, I couldn’t help but reflect that my Heavenly Father is sure a lucky guy. He not only has a number of beautiful daughters, but so many of those daughters burn with passion to sing His praises. My Daddy has daughters, hundreds of thousands of them, who depend on Him for protection, who light up when He reveals Himself in glory, who can’t wait to see His face. It’s a perfect Father-daughter relationship. Only this one will never end.
