Puppy Kisses

After a long hard day I like to sit on the couch with my little poodle Rosie. I love it when she lays on my chest and sleeps next to my heart. When she was a puppy a lady told me that poodles love to hear their mothers heart beat. It clams them and makes them feel safe. Even now that she is a year old she still lays next to my heart and I love it! 

But you know what Rosie loves? Giving kisses. I am totally convinced that Rosie's "love language" is licking...and lots of it! If you give her the chance, she will lick you until it drives you crazy. 

Last week I called Rosie over to get on the couch with me. We got comfortable and started to rest, but then she just started to lick my face. I'm tired...I just want her to take a little nap with me! I tell her no and she stops. But then she started back up! I looked at her very cute face and said "Can you just sit here with me?".

Then the Lord in His sweetness spoke to my heart. He said I am like you, and you are like Rosie. I love it when we are together. But sometimes would you just sit with me and listen to my heart. The licking represents everything you could possibly bring to Me. I love it when we talk, but when was the last time your intentions where set to listen to my heart beat?

This is a beautiful picture and it rocked me! I know it's so important to get so close to the Father that you can hear his heart on what He says about me and others. Because if we don't then we can't properly love ourselves or people. Because that is the whole point of being a Christian, love. 

I double dog dared my youth group to set a time to just listen to the father's heart in the secret place. To not just hear what's on His heart but to actually hear it. When we decide to just let go and let God do Hos thing it's life changing. The supernatural is so much more real than the realm we live in. God invites us to get close, close enough to hear the beating of His heart. That is a overwhelming thought, but oh so wonderful!

So now when I snuggle on the couch with Rosie it's a reminder to go and Listen to His heart. 

"I want to sit at your feet. Drink from the cup in your hand. 
Lay back against you a breathe... feel your heart beat."
