Graham, our 3 & 1/4 year old, is gaining some serious independence. He wants to try it all and do it all by himself! One night after an attempt putting our shoes on, we ended in tears.
Finally through the sobs, he shared that he needed his daddy's help.
His daddy responded that all he needed to do was ask. Just say, "Daddy, I need help". And my husband reinforced that he would come right away to help him.
I admired my husband, the father of our children for the way he reacted and taught our son a major life lesson...and my heart quickened as I realize I have a heavenly Father that told me the very same thing.
Rachel...all you need to do is ask, "Abba, I need help", and I will come.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:18
No matter what life brings me today...tomorrow...4 weeks from now...He is near and ready to help. My Abba Father...
Taking a MOMent to cry out to my Abba....
Rachel
I love it! Tears blurring my typing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so much like the sermon I listened to last night from your wonderful pastor - we need to ask God more questions about what He wants and then ask Him to help us do it! Beautiful illustration!!!
