I AM YOUR CHILD

Isaiah 38:19

“The living, the living man, he shall praise You,
As I do this day;
The father shall make known Your truth to the children.”

Lord, I live today as your child. I plan to focus on this identity. Undoubtedly I will be asking for guidance, messing things up, getting Your pristine plans dirty, and constantly asking, “Why? Why?” But You are used to the floundering of Your children. You are a patient parent. The lessons You have taught me in Your Word and through Your active love are helping me grow. I can see the person You want me to become.

Like a child, I will run in lots of different directions before asking the way. And by then, I will probably need to be carried. It is very exhausting being a child. But now, as You lift me up and comfort me with Your promise of love and grace, I settle down. To be wrapped in Your faithfulness is all I needed…I just didn’t know how to get there. When I am done resting, will You tell me a story? I love the one about the day I became Your child.

In Jesus precious name, amen.
