Jumping Into Father's Arms
By D.L. Moody0PSA 56:3PRO 3:5ISA 41:10MAT 7:11JHN 10:14D.L. Moody shares a poignant story from Mobile about children jumping into their father's arms, illustrating the importance of trust and relationship. The ease with which the two boys jumped reflects their familiarity and trust in their father, while the third boy's hesitation highlights the lack of relationship and trust. Moody emphasizes that just as the children trust their father, we too must learn to trust God and jump into His arms, knowing He is always there to catch us. The sermon encourages believers to deepen their relationship with God to foster that same trust and willingness to leap into His care.
