I wrote before about how when my toddler first started walking he reminded me of how much God loves me. I would squat at one end of the hallway with my arms opened, and he would get a huge grin on his face and come running into my opened arms. That's how God is waiting for us with arms wide open waiting for us to run with a huge grin onto our face into his opened arms.
God used a toddler this time to remind me of how he's always there to help us when we need him. J is at the age where he is Mr. Independent; however, every now and then he shows he still need our help. The other day we were outside playing and there's a step off our driveway. He knows it's there and when he got to it he reached his little hand upward waiting for me to grab it. When I took his hand, an analogy of how God is waiting for me popped into my head. Just like I was waiting on him to reach for my hand, God is waiting on us to reach up and say, "God help me." He let's us be independent, but when we need him he's waiting on us. He's waiting there with his hand ready for us to reach up and grab and ask for his help. He already knows when we're going to ask for his help just like I already knew little Mr. Independent was going to reach his hand up for help when he got to the driveway. I love how God uses even the youngest to teach us lessons! How powerful and wonderful is HE that he can use even an infant to teach us what he's been trying to teach us all our life! From the minute J was born and probably before, I realized just how much God loves me by that love He allowed me to have for my little boy.
