I Am Your Child

The living, the living- they praise you, as I am doing today; fathers tell their children about your faithfulness.
-Isaiah 38:19

Lord, I live today as Your child. I plan to focus on this identity. Undoubtly I will be asking for guidance, messing things up, getting Your plans dirty, and constantly asking, "Why? Why?" But You are used to the floundering of Your children. You are a patient parent. The lessons You have taught me in Your Word and through Your active love are helping me grow. I can see the person you want me to become.

Like a child, I will run in a lot of different directions before asking the way. And by then, I will probably need to be carried. It is very exhausting being a child. But now, as You lift me up and comfort me with your promises of love and grace, I settle down. To be wrapped in Your faithfulness is all I needed..... I just did'nt know how to get there. When I am done resting, will You tell me a story? I love the one about the day I became your child.
