Alicia and I are blessed with two wonderful sons. Being a daddy, I particularly enjoy being
able to pass along all of my extensive comic book and music knowledge to the
boys. However, being a father can be
difficult at times, especially when the boys go out of their way to choose
mommy over me.
This form of rejection is not subtle by any means and
happened to me just the other evening when I wouldn't let our youngest have a
lollipop. Elijah was mad at me because
he wanted a sucker like his older brother had.
I wouldn't let him have one because hard candy is dangerous and can
easily be choked on by toddlers. The
next hour, Elijah proceeded to ignore me and had nothing to do with me, only
mommy. This little incident got me to thinking how many times I have rejected
God during the course of my lifetime; most likely because He did not answer one
of my prayers in the exact way that I asked for it to be answered...sound
familiar?
Thankfully, God accepts everyone who comes to Him in faith,
even those who previously rejected Him.
We can always approach God knowing that He will make time for us and
will always listen to us. In fact, He is
always dependable, always loves us and is always there for us.
God never turns away from us and we can learn how to accept
others that may be difficult for us to accept in His loving arms.
