Watching a litte child play; a little girl playing dress up with a tutu and a pair of ballet slippers pretending to be a dancer. A little boy having a "sword fight" with the imaginary pirates in the backyard. Watching them you see how they are so fragile yet so imaginative, so carefree and so innocent.
Their big curious eyes stare up at you as they wish they were big and "grown-up" like you, when in reality, you wish the roles were reversed...you wish you were a little kid again.
I wish i was little and could play dress-up and have tea parties with my teddy bear again. Hoping and wishing that all these questions about what i wanna be when i "grow-up" and where i wanna go to school would just evaporate into thin air. If you asked a little girl those questions the answer would be easy as pie, she would go to Princeton because that is where the princes go to school and she wants to be a princess when she "grow up". Or a little boy would say "I'm gonna be a racecar driver so i dont need to go to school." Only if it were that simple. If only our decisions didnt come with so much baggage. Then if we make the wrong decision there are so many consequences that we end up having to deal with. Time after time we get hit by wave after wave of decisions and life choices and there just doesnt seem to be an end. ...but here's the catch, there is someone that will help us with any choice or trial we come to. This person can turn those barriers into bridges and he is more than just a friend...more than just a Best friend...he's our father, our daddy.
We might make some decisions that wipe us of our innocence and the consequences cut us down at our knees, but he will always take us back, God will always take us back. He stands with his arms wide open, loving us with his unbreakable and unending love no matter what decisions we make, and he also will help us to make the right decisions so that we can live our live to glorify him.
God is my father, my daddy, my everything.
I hope he is to you too.
Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a future.
