Father & Son at the hospital

Our church visited Ronnie at the hospital today. He has been in a coma for two months, after miraculously suriving a motorcycle accident on Angeles Crest Highway. We prayed for him, and spent time with his girlfriend, his mother, and his father.
The tears didn't come to me until I observed his father bending over him, holding his hand, and placing his face inches from his. It was a gesture filled with a love that is rarely witnessed. It was a gesture filled with desperation, and hope, and intensity. It was a picture of a father loving on his comatose son. It was beautiful.
Can you picture God caring for us like that? Loving on us, His comatose people. His children who are so prone to wandering, to forgetfulness, to idolatry. And yet, He holds us close, He whispers, and He cares for us deeply and intensly.
"The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17
