DISQUS

"When I watch my friend look at his son's silly antics with absolute delight, I notice that Isaac is oftentimes not even aware of his dad's pleasure. When I see that dynamic at work, I think of how unaware I am of my heavenly Father's countenance. I wonder if He has enjoyed watching me as I walk out my faith."


Thanks, Randy. Reading the end of the article, I was reminded of something in my life many years ago. I was returning to God after being out of fellowship with Him for many years. One day, I "saw" Him as He was the day many years earlier after the traumatic event that eventually led me to denounce Him and move into an entirely different life for many years. While I was whining about where was He, how could He allow this to happen....He was standing with His arms outstretched, wanting me to turn to Him. He would have comforted me and healed me, but I wasn't looking for Him.
