What God wants most from you is a relationship. Everything in this chapter reminds me that as humans who are made in His image, our tendencies in relationships, especially parenting, come from being His creation. We crave reciprocal love from those we love. We hope that our loved ones know know that even though we can't control everything, that they can trust that we will be there to walk through it with them. It brings great joy to people who serve especially when they are appreciated by the ones they serve. Does it make you happy when your kids wholeheartedly obey you? Can you relate to the joy of watching someone doing something that they love and were born to do? Think about watching a loved one sleep and the feeling of love swelling up in your heart.
Much like we enjoy watching our children grow (mistakes and all,) God loves and enjoys every step of growth in your spiritual journey. I pray that our journey be pleasing to God and I praise God for being a God of love and forgiveness.
