He hungers for your fellowship.

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

A strikingly beautiful little humming bird in his early morning
exuberance crashed against my window and fell to the ground. Jesus
tells us that His almighty Father in heaven, Ruler of the vast
universe, saw when that happened, and experienced a pang of sorrow even
as I did (Matt. 10:29). In that tiny little happening, He and I had a
moment of fellowship together. If I had ever had a personal
conversation with a national President, I would tell my grandchildren!
Well, I can tell them of my little tete-a-tete with the heavenly Father
when we two had something in common for a moment--sorrow at a little
death!

You are to believe that because our heavenly Father is infinite, He
thinks personally about you. You must say from your heart, “The Lord
thinketh upon me” (Psalm 40:17). To “think upon” you requires
considerably more personal attention than the little humming bird could
get; the reason is that you have not only been created in the “image of
God,” but you have also been redeemed by His Son. You absolutely MUST
believe this, or you are not realizing what it means to believe in the
sense of John 3:16.

With all the troubles and heartaches and disappointments you have
known, you may think it very difficult to believe this stupendous
truth; and to choose to believe it now may bring tears of repentance in
your eyes, for you will very rightly feel ashamed that you haven’t
believed it years ago. Very well, let them come. The One who
“inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy” not only dwells “in the high
and holy place,” but “also with him that is of a contrite and humble
heart” (Isa. 57:15). He hungers for your fellowship.
