I think I have realized how God feels about us as humans. I know he loves us and I know He wants the best for us, and I also know that He will always be there to pick us up every time we fall even when it's frustrating to him how He has told us and shown us how to live in order for us to have a joyful and fulfilling life, and yet we disobey him because we think we know better. It's kind of like parenting. Last night, Rocco woke up at 2am. Not good. I found him standing in his crib, completely exhausted so I laid him back down, put the soother is his mouth and walked away. A few minutes later, i hear him again and in my head i am secretly hoping he falls back asleep so i can too, but then he starts to cry and i know exactly why....he's standing and can't figure out how te to sit back down. So once i again i lkay him back down. This process happened until 3:30 this morning. The last time I went in there i felt beyond frustrated and then, while lying in my bed once again, had a thought. This must be the way God feels about us sometimes. He knows whats best for us, just like i know it's good for Rocco to be sleeping at 2 in the morning, but yet Rocco and myself many times, thinks it's better to just stand on our own. How frustrating! But how amazing is the love we have for our children and the love Christ has for us, that even though it's frustrating, He will be there, and continue to be there till we all learn.
Now, if I can only find a way to prevent Rocco from standing in his crib at 2am...
