Revelation 8:4
And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.
Our prayers smell good to God. They are sweet smelling aroma. God takes pleasure in our conversations. My children, Seth and Caitlin, and I have, from time to time, wonderfully meaningful conversations regarding who God is, what He has done, and what he is doing. It is terrific! But I suspect that only now is my son (a new father) beginning to appreciate the fact that I enjoy talking to him about most anything. Some day my daughter will learn the same thing. They are my children and I delight in them and in what they are doing, thinking, and feeling. It ‘smells good’ to just commune with my children. If I, being evil, know how to find pleasure in the presence of my children, how much more does the Heavenly Father find pleasure in my coming to Him just to talk!

It's so wonderful to see how it works when it isn't broken...your love for your kids is a picture of the love of the Father. I know that I have no idea how deep His love is. I want to.
