I just reread my posts and realize that I need to take my own medicine. I have been baffled the last few days at my daughter Elizabeth. You see there are times in the day where she just breaks down crying. When I ask her what is wrong she tells me she misses her Daddy. Now it is not like she never sees him or that it has been more than a few hours (last night it was ten minutes). However, Russell had been home right about two weeks for Christmas vacation. Now that he is back at school even a few hours seems is hard on her.
I wondering why we are not like that with our Father. He gives us more love, grace, and joy than any earthly father anyone could ever have. Yet, when we don't seem him we get mad or wonder why he has not shown up already. Unlike our earthly father, he never really leaves us. We can cry out, just like Elizabeth (and trust me this is sobbing) and he is there. He hears us and he desires for us to be with him.
I admit my faith has faltered and need to cry out to him again. I want to be that little child in his arms and know that I my cries are always heard. I need my Daddy! I have been lacking in joy and in some what of a funk because I have not turned to him when I should have. How patient our God is. Again, my sins have made it evident once again that I need Jesus. I need him. Without him I am lost.
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. there is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace though the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22-24
