He wants to what?!

"To me some of these things are just incomprehensible. How does the Creator of this (galaxy), this is only one of another about 100 billion of these… what kind of a Creature, what kind of Being, what kind of a Creator is this? I’ll tell you what kind of a Creature, HE WANTS TO HUG YOU!"

"Who thinks about these things? Well we should, we should think about them. If you feel estranged to God, then you should start thinking, ‘wait a minute, He wants to hug me, He wants to hold me.’ Okay? I mean, not literally, but with the same compassion and emotion. Spiritually He wants to hug us and THIS IS NOT SOMEBODY TO BE FEARED!"

God wants to hug me :D

<3 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit: The source for my two quotes http://bible-truths.com/audio/IsJesusGod2.mp3 :P

If you havn't listened to these recent audios from march, YOU SHOULD! IT IS AMAZING! When ray asked, "Who here has had a conversation with the Father?" I just wanted to scream, I DO! I TALK TO HIM, not that I hear Him talk back or anything, but i know He hears me :D

Dennis Vogel:
What? God kicks the living stuffing out of us and then he wants to hug us? Sounds a little contradictory doesn't it?

Let's say your two year-old child repeatedly does something that is dangerous and you must discipline him in some way that ensures he gets the message.

So, he's enduring his correction and is crying and is very unhappy.

Do you hug him? No, you do not hug him. That sends a mixed message and he will not learn anything and could end up injured or even dead.

But while he is crying and in despair, you as his parent want to hug him. But you do not comfort him because it is not in his best interest. You hug him after he has leaned his lesson.

I'm anticipating a lot of hugs, someday.

lauriellen:

Well I can't speak from personal experience since i'm not father or parent myself but, I do think God hugs when we need Him most or are feeling down and hurt really bad. I think God is so filled with Love that when He sees us in so much pain, He can't help but hug us! Thats just how I feel. I Know if someone was hurt or crying really bad that I wouldn't be able to stand the sight of them in so much pain that the only thing I could do would be to show them love and what better way than a hug? Regardless if I want them to learn a lesson or not. I just can't see myself being the only reason I feel this way, but rather that it comes from someone who is filled with alot more love and compassion than I could ever imagine.

Dennis Vogel:
God does not beat us and immediately comfort/hug us.

Everyone who goes through the lake of fire in this life will feel forsaken at some point.

I used that example because God likens us to little children.

Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

Heb 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye ********, and not sons.

It's not hard to feel God's love when things are going fairly well. But when God decides it's time for you to learn a lesson, you will not be happy with God or what He is putting you through.

I know there are members here going through very hard times and could use just a little joy. But they are not getting it, at least not yet.

And there are some here who have endured chastisement and would not sell their hard fought wisdom for all the money in the world.

God comforts you when it's time and in your best interest.
