A Child’s Eyes
Do you have trouble believing God is excited to meet with you in prayer? Have you ever seen yourself as a young child excited to see your Dad on Christmas morning? Can you remember back to what that morning felt like? Could you, maybe, close your eyes, and see his glowing face at the top of the hill? Dressed in white, surrounded by the splendor and majesty of these sprawling mountains, with a clean mountain stream running through a meadow of wildflowers and butterflies. Can you just stop a minute and really close your eyes to imagine as a child? Believe as a child? Anticipate like a child?
Just drop off all the sophistication of your years. The maturity of who you are. The intellect that we think so highly of… and just drop it! And be a child dependent again. A child that has NOTHING worked out! A child that needs their Dad to just come and scoop them up and hold them tight to his bosom. Can you just imagine that what the Bible says is true? Literally! You are an adopted Son of the most high God. You are ALLOWED to call our His name. DAD…. DAD…. I NEED YOU DAD!!!
TALK TO ME… please Dad talk to me.
Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to be your comforter… Your empowerer… Jesus promised to send us an Advocate! A helper to ALWAYS BE WITH US! He brought us 7 gifts: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. All of these are gifts from OUR FATHER. Everything you need and so much more. The Power of a Son! But He says you must have the humility that allows you to have a dependency completely, like a child. Letting go of the wisdom we think we possess for a truth eternal!
Close your eyes and see Him at the top of the hill waiting. Urging you onward and upward like a good Dad. Come on son! I’ve got you. Through me son, you can do all things! Come on son, let’s celebrate together! Let’s talk together. Come celebrate with me your adoption and sonship! Just see yourself resting your head on His Lap with Him stroking your hair.
And be still… and KNOW!
Meditative Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ!.
Dear Father, Help me be a child again. To see you as a child. At peace…Believing. EVERYTHING.
