“I need my husband, please get my husband.” I had, had a procedure done and my husband wasn’t allowed in the room with me. The procedure didn’t start as planned and I began to feel myself faint. I called out for him as everything around me began to go black, I had fainted. After a short bit later, I awoke and my husband was walking through the doors to me. I felt better after awaking and especially after just knowing that my husband was near me. A short bit later, I was able to complete my procedure and the rest went well. Though I know that having my husband near me, was just what I needed. Just as I also especially needed God too. I think of all the times I have needed God. Even long before my husband came into my life. I know that I would not have gotten this far without God. My husband is just another blessing to me, from God. There have been many times in my life where I needed God. “God, I need you, please God help me.” Even in my moments where I should have called out to God and didn’t, He still was there for me. How blessed are we, as God’s children to have Him who so lovingly cares for us. Many times, I have felt safe and secure, just knowing God was near me. Friend, God is always near to us. May we be encouraged and comforted in knowing that we are loved by Him. That He is always there for us. Not just in the good, but also when times are difficult. My husband rushed to me, stroked my arm, held my hand and kissed me gently on the cheek. He made me feel safe again. Just as God holds us daily, embracing us, with His tender love and care.
