I have been reading a book that is scratching lots of my itches I have come to a page that talks about the basic human need to be "the Sparkle in Someone's Eye".
James Friesen says - the first two years of life the desire to experience joy in loving relationship is the most powerful force. Life makes sense and is empowered by JOY when people are in relationship with those who love them and are sincerely "glad to be with them".
This book is called Face to Face with God by Bill Johnson - the above excerpt came from a book he read called (Living From the Heart Jesus Gave You by James G. Friesen PhD,et al).
I remember when our son Simon was a toddler he used to wait at the front door for his father to come home hoping he would be the first one to greet him. Now I have grandchildren who race up to me each time I visit to receive the sparkle that is in my eye for them.
If we consider what Jesus said about coming to Him like a little child this information makes sense as we all long to be in loving relationship and be the "sparkle in someone's eye".
I believe that God the Father is down on one knee with His arms outstretched, 'a sparkle in His eye' waiting for us to toddle up to Him so that He can pick us up and heal our hearts from any insecurities or rejection caused by any lack of "Sparkle" that has affected our lives.
"The JOY of the Lord is my strength" - so be ready to Sparkle causing more people to know how to experience JOY and loving relationship because
