The other day I had just started working on something and Josh started to fuss in his crib. He was done napping and was ready to be picked up, but I was in the middle of something and couldn't get him immediately. I had to first put down what I was working on and clean off my hands. This took me a minute and at this point Josh was screaming and getting really upset so I start calling out "Josh, Mom's coming....I've got you Buddy." He instantly calms because he knows my voice and knows that I have never failed him. He has complete trust in me because his short life experience has taught him that mom cares for me. It is same way with Dave. The other night Josh was feeling a little sick and couldn't get himself to sleep. Dave went into his room and started to rub his back. Josh instantly relaxed because he could see and feel his Dad. He knows Dave means security and safety. He knows Dave means love. Josh has complete trust in us, but we are humans so therefore there will come a day when we let Josh down. It is inevitable because of our sinful nature, yet there is a Heavenly Father who will never let us down. As I have been thinking about Josh's blind trust in us, I have been really challenged. Do I have blind trust in God? When I am in times of distress am I listening to God's voice?
The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
Our Heavenly Father longs to be our comfort and consistency. He loves us more than is even imaginable.
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
Psalm 86:15
Turn to Him and feel His never ending love
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
1 John 3:1
