Child of God

I am a child of God. But how quickly I forget.

I love my daughter more than I ever thought possible. I have her best interest at heart. I want to protect her from all harm. When she hurts, I hurt. When I tell her, "trust me," I mean it. When I don't want her to eat candy for dinner, it's for her own good. And sometimes she just wants to sit in my lap while I hold her and comfort her.

So how is it, that I love my daughter so much, with my measly human heart, and I forget that my God loves me more than I can fathom?

Luke 18:17 (NIV)
"Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
