Our Loving Father in Heaven

                   "When children go back to their parents that do not watch over them at all and doesn't even care for them most of the time, what does that say about adults when we won't go to a Loving Father and trust Him with everything when He is the Perfect and Holy One."-Tiffney Wilson

        I came up with this thought when I was praying. God seems to put those right children and moments in my life when I need them the most and He has a way of getting me to take those children's moments and turning them into a Godly lesson for my life like He did with this one last night. I was putting my little girls to bed when one of them started to talk about her mommy and how she missed her. 
         It was hard at first because I was putting the other little girl to sleep because she is one where if you leave her side she will sit straight up and not go to sleep. When the little girl I was sitting by was almost asleep or at least calmed down I went to get the other girl and rocked her. While I was rocking her, she was saying things like "my daddy locked my mommy out of the house, I slept in the same bed with my mommy, and I miss my mommy." I thought nothing of the meaning behind it for me last night but I rocked her and told her "she was beautiful, she is safe, and that I love her." 
          It wasn't until this morning during my prayer time that God knocked on the door of my heart with the moment. I felt like He was saying, "Don't you feel like that little girl did last night sometimes? All alone and scared. Feel like no one wants you or likes you for you." Strangely enough, I answered, "Yes." Then thought, if that little girl or any of the children could go back to their parents that have messed up with them or hurt them in anyway they would go right back because that is all they know and love deeply. They don't understand why the hurting is going on all they know is the people and for some reason they love me and this is how they show their love, sadly enough. 
          If the children I work with can go back to their parents like that, then what is stopping us, as Christians, going to our Perfect, Loving, Holy Father that would never hurt us but yet sent His own Son to die for us so we would be saved from the pain of sin. If the children have that much trust in their parents not to do it again, then we should have more Trust in our Heavenly Father that He knows what is best for us and will show us the way and will provide that way. A lot of times we put God in a box and I first heard this in college in our church basement, and only let God out when needed. He is our Father all the time and all the time He is good. We should be running to Him for help because we can be sure we will get it. We should be able to trust that He will provide because He will. Unlike my children's parents, some of them try but others don't care. 
           Lesson here: We should be like the little children and run to our Father when we are scared or feel lonely, confuse, or unwanted because the truth is that we are Loved more then we could ever think of. Even though, things might not make sense now and they seem like a mess, our Father knows what is best for us and does care for us.
