God is teaching me so much these days! I am a SLOW learner!!! I am overwhelmed by His love and the Gospel. Yesterday God spoke to me about an aspect of the Gospel that I had not thought about in depth. The beginning of the story The God BECOMING MAN! Yes coming DOWN to us, to our level! AMAZING isn't it?! As I am trudging through this mothering/parenting business I am seeking God to show me how to show my kids the love of God and the awesomeness of the Gospel. Yesterday I heard something loud and clear, I believe in my heart God was speaking to me: "Kandy, come DOWN to THEM! Get to their level. Put yourself in their shoes. Really try hard!"
It is HARD for an adult to think like a child and to have the joy of a child. Impossible?! No!! I am able to do so because I have an example, Jesus Christ!! So yesterday, I really tried to view the world from my children's eyes. To get down to their level and in doing so I was able to see THEM a lot better! I was able to "hear" what words were not saying. I am THANKFUL for this lesson and the fact that the words, "COME DOWN TO THEM", keep coming back to me. Stop my busyness for 15, 30, 45 seconds or even put aside my plans for the entire day to enter their world. Christ entered our horrible world for 33 years. Why? So he could reach us!! So He could show us how AWESOME He is! I must learn to enter into their world if I am going to be able to understand what they are feeling, thinking, and what they need.
Thank you Father for your Holy Spirit, my Helper, whom You have given me to teach me Your truths! May I walk in them through the power of the Gospel in me through Jesus Christ!
