I really love my children and grandchildren. They are so very important to me. I don't get to see them as much as I'd like. Today I had a call from my son and then a text from my one of my daughters. I got to see sonogram pictures of the new grandbaby to be born early next year. Life and the process if so cool. You can't say there is no God when you see a baby in the womb. It is especially neat when my children have parenting questions or stories because it reminds me so much of each one of them. Their children are really little versions of who they were long ago when they can't remember.
It got me to thinking. In the Bible where God says we are to approach Him as children I used to think that was because children are so curious and easy to reason with because they generally take everything as exactly the way it is presented. Not alot of questions and what fors, or whys. It seems like as we age we get less dependent on Him and more about doing our own thing. While we as earthly parents applaud this "growing up" and "maturing" in our children it really goes contrary to how the Lord wants us to behave with Him.
So I thought that a big part of my healing in all areas 'broken' will center on how child-like I can present myself to God. Stripping away the preconceived ideas of how it oughta be and the way it will be so that I just hear and obey. It is going to be a huge key to my freedom I'm sure.
Lord I want to be the child you created me to be even though I am housed in an adult earthly body. Since my Spirit has no age I ask that you rejuvenate me from the child base and give me the healthy curiosity and longing for more of You. Amen
So as I climb this mountain called healing,with one foot in front of the other, I am looking to refresh my inner child and long for her to come out and play. I can't wait for how God will take her, heal her and then watch it manifest in me.
