Recently I was bathing my three year old in the tub, and while I let her play I sat there on the stool and begain talking to God, about how badly I need him to move in my life. My three year old interputed me for something but it got me thinking of how much my child depends on me for everything. I bath her of course, but I provide the food she eats, the house she lives in, the toys she enjoys, I read to her teaching her about things, and when she needs to be cuddleed, when she sick or hurt I take care of her; and I am sure as she gets older there will be emotional things with friends that I will need to comfort her. I remembered a scripture that I had heard of " of being child like in our relationship with the Lord." Or something to that effect. It made me think of what I was asking God for and realized I was going to him all wrong. Just as my child depends on me for everything, I am to depend on the Lord for everything. Also there are times when I do not know what my child needs or wants with out her telling me and at times if she is crying she may have to repeat somthing a few times before I get what she is saying. So I may have to ask God a few times, before he hears me. There are times she asks for something that I know is not good for her and I have to tell her no. There are times God has to tell me no also. There are times my child will ask for me to hold her ( she is affectionate), and it feels good to hold her and comfort her: for her and me. Yes, there are times just like my three year needs to be held that this adult just need to look up the her heavenly Daddy and ask him to hold her.
