A little praise, a little something I had to write and wanted to share.
________________________________
When I was new in You, a reborn, you carried me like an infant. You cradled me close and constantly reassured me that Your love was real and present and that all my needs would be met, all my fears were no longer necessary.
Now that I am a bit older, I walk alongside sometimes. It’s not because You care less or that You have others that are more important. You are letting me walk because You know I can. You are letting me grow because You wish for me to stretch and strengthen, to spread new wings, to become mature so that I may enjoy You more fully. Sometimes I fall and skin my knee, hurt myself, and You pick me gently up and wipe my tears, give me a hug, carry me a little if I need. But then you place me back on my feet, an unsteady toddler, so that I may walk in Your path, learn new steps so I may eventually dance in Your glory, run in Your love, soar in Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for loving me enough to let me fall sometimes, for caring for me enough to help me grow and learn, for having the confidence in me to know that someday I will dance with You in Heaven, a full grown and mature Christian because You care and love me.
