Newborn babies, what’s not to love! Some have full pudgy cheeks and a glow about them. Some newborns are still a little scrunched up and look like they have a sunburn.  Some have lots of hair, some are bald. Most do not have their eyes open. Some are crying.  Most are sleeping, but one thing is for certain, they are beautiful, children of God and truly precious and the prettiest/most handsome baby you’ve ever seen. A smile comes across my face seeing babies. The smile is automatic whether it was seeing my own babies or even a baby in a commercial on TV. Something about that newborn, fresh-into-this-world aura that brings out the beauty in each and every baby. Hm?  Could it be God?

On one particular Sunday, from my viewpoint, I could clearly see a young family with their two children. We were mid-way through the service and singing a praise song, Only A Holy God. It is a beautiful song with the words up on a big screen.  That’s when I saw it. One of the young children was singing along, not missing a word, when she turned to her mother. There was a definite glow to her face as she sang each word. I was struck by that glow. Could it be God?

My “feeling” is what I experience when seeing newborns and what I saw viewing an eight-year-old, singing His praises…was God! He fills us. Psalm 139 reminds us that He knew us when we were formed in our mother’s womb. These almost angelic glowing faces present themselves as a witness to me of God’s unconditional love for each of us. Seek Him and you will find Him.
