Leaving Home for What?


 

January 3

 
On a walk around my neighborhood, I notice a small boy pulling a little red wagon with a suitcase in it. He starts down the street. As I near the house a man comes out, looks in the direction of the boy.

 
"Leaving home are we," I ask? The man nods.

 
That boy is testing his boundaries but what he really wants to know is that his parents still love him.

 
As a child of God, I have walked away from my heavenly Father. I didn’t get far and I desperately wanted to know that God still loves me.

 
God tells us all the time that He loves us. We just have to pay attention and listen.

 
"Give thanks to the Lord for He is good! His faithful love endures forever."
(Psalm 136:1 NLT)
