I am thankful to have a husband who strives to make his relationship with his children mirror that of our Father and all of his children. When our daughter was a bit younger and she would fall asleep in his arms I would think "Yes! This is what true trust and rest look like. Sleeping so soundly in dad's arms, not a care, not a worry or thought about the future. Completely at rest."
God continues to show me how I should be through my children.
Nothing like a child to learn how to be childlike!
I believe this is what He has said to me:
"Be like a child.
Carried.
Moved by her parents.
Receiving love. Giving love by just being.
Asking for what she needs in her own language until she learns the language of her parents.
Not giving up.
Observing.
Finding wonder in everything.
Learning constantly.
Wanting to be no where else but in her parents arms."
What if this is how our relationship with God went?
What would that look like?
