This one has been mulling around in my mind.. But your comment on facebook got me going, Tina! We tell our kids to listen.. We need to listen. Child-like faith. Have you ever thought about and relished the fact that God is our Father? Sometimes I just sit amazed that we are His children and that as He says we need to be like children. Parenting my own children has made me realize even more what he means.. That He too is saying.. "Hey it is okay.. I am right here" when we are worried. That He is behind us on the stairs of life... ready to catch us and lift us up. That He knows why certain things are harmful (stove burners so to speak)and certain things are for our good (broccoli?). That He wants us to run to Him.. tell Him about what is going on and how we are feeling. Our five year old tells me that he loves me as high as heaven and as big as God. And I tell him I love him soo big too. And that I try to love as big as God... but I know His love is the biggest! God is "Slow to anger and abounding in love" (Numbers 14:18) (not sure mine always is that way)... His love is everlasting. I want to be simple.. and have faith like a child. Free from worry. Free from fear. Living it...simple because of His great love.
