"to have found God and to still pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love."

Recently Jesus opened my eyes to what it really means, and the way I can live having Him as my Father.
Imagine with me a little child. Innocent and dependent on his father to protect, care for, supply his needs, guide and teach him. The child lives carefree knowing he has his father who will take care of him. We lose that carefree dependency because we grow up and try to do things ourselves. We are to be like that child as Jesus is that Father to us even as adults. As simple as it sounds, we often never truly grasp it. We try to take God along with us instead of letting God take us along with Him. We view Him more like a friend and less like a Father. So we vent to Him. We ask Him to walk by our sides, asking Him to grant our wishes and upset when He doesn't. We throw fits like children. But we don't summit like children. As a child we had to summit our wishes when they went against our fathers trusting he knew best. As adults, God wants us to do the same thing with Him. Jesus wants you to hold His hand tightly, and just let Him guide you all through life. You know why You can so trust Him? Because He's already been through it all! And He's already got everything figured out. He has all your needs supplied just at the right time, He will protect you, teach you and be right there helping you grow every step of the way. We're not to try to figure things out or solve our problems and heal our hearts. He wants us to lean hard into His arms as a child and trust our Father with our hearts and our whole lives. Don't try to take Jesus along with you through life. Let Him take you through life. Don't just let Him be your friend, let Him be your all knowing, ever loving, tender faithful Father. Live in the worry-less freedom of His arms. Trusting Him to work all things out for Your best. Let the love of your Father cover every ache, every hurt and worry. Let Him carry every burden that you may run and skip through life carefree as a child.
