Made My Life

I received an e mail from my second child this morning. It was a note thanking me for an e mail of encouragement that I had sent them yesterday. It made my not just the day, but it made my LIFE. I have no problem confessing that I had tears in my eyes as I read it. At times and it’s probably just me, but I wonder if what I’m saying is being heard? Has that happened to you? I’ve felt at times that I’m talking to the wall, not with just this child but with all my children. Then out of the blue, one of my children will repeat something back to my wife or I that we had talked to them about, and it’s almost exactly what we said to them. I guess they process it and it passes whatever criteria they use and it made sense so they accept it. Those are the times that you look at that child and you say to yourself “This child has it they are going to be alright; they are going to be great human beings

As I’m writing this I’m sure that God is looking down and saying to himself right back at you Rob. You do the same thing to me. Now this is God talking to himself about me. I talk and talk to you but you don’t listen. Then you go and so the right thing, just like I’ve been talking to you about. As much as I love my children God loves me and you even more. When I was younger I used to think that God was up in heaven and he was just waiting for me to mess up so he could hammer me. As my relationship with Christ has matured and I spend more time reading my bible and time in prayer. I’ve come to understand better, but not wholly complete the love that God for me.

God only wants the best for us, like we want for our children. We don’t have to do great or huge things to please God. He just wants a relationship with us. In Revelation 3:20 we are told 20Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Will you open the door? If you do God will make your life.
