I know we have angels around us at all times, and perhaps
the number varies with the faith we have. I always say I have seven, but at
times the seven are never enough for me…at times I just want my Father to be
the one next to me whom I can talk to and just get to make history with Him as
He walks with me proudly showing me off to the angels and other people as His
precious little girl.
I have seen babies when they are growing up about how at
times all they do is just stare at the adult faces and get to identify with
them.it still defeats logic for me how babies get to know who their mother is
and dad within such a short time of getting into this world. I particularly
like when all they do is try to study someone and just feel their faces and
mouth gazing into their eyes. When these babies get to one year and they can
walk and run and are able to point at things, when they see things they want
all they do is point and cry frantically pointing to what they are attracted to
and what do their parents do? They get it for them. More awesome it is when
they see their parents and run towards them with arms wide stretched for them
to be picked up.
The same applies to God, our Father and us, His children.
Only that most of the time all we want is to point at things we want and give
Him a list of the many things we wish to have. And being the loving Father He is,
he provides these things for us but is saddened by the fact that we use Him as
this Super Power and we do not want to spend time in getting to study His face,
getting to feel His face and know what He is truly saying to us.
At times all God wants to do is to carry us in His arms and
just to tell us how much He really cares for us and how much He understands
what we are going through…but for us when we faced with turmoil and going
through challenges all we want is to tell God to deliver us and yes He does but
if only we would let Him pick us up carry us and comfort us a parent would do
to his or her child.
Gaze at His face understand that His love is greater than
everything is .Do not be the spoiled child who only wants to point at what he
only wants…try be selfless. Pause and gaze at Daddy’s face, let Him pick you up
and just have a conversation with you. Let him know how your day has been, let
Him know the joys you have heard, let Him know what sins you are struggling with.
Cry out to Him and tell Him the things that are taking away your joy, tell Him
your fears and tell Him you are glad that you have Him.
At times it’s ok to tell Him that the angels can take a
break and He may take that position even if it is for ten minutes. Worship Him
and glorify Him, let Him be the Center.
