In the love that we have for our children it is easy for us to carry them but there comes a point that our children need to learn how to walk on their own. We are to be that anchor that is rooted in the Mountain of God to give His guidance through the Word when they may stumble or fall. Every child needs to learn how to pick them self back up after a fall and learn how to not allow their fears to prevent them from standing and walking again.
What is it that drives a child of God to walk? What is it that drives our children to step further than before? The answer is simply one four letter word, LOVE!!!God’s love for us can motivate us to walk like we have never walked before and our love should be teaching the same. Do you recognize the parallel between the love of our children and the love that our Father in Heaven has for us?
The Lord encourages us as we are to encourage others in return. Learning to encourage one another in the love of God gives us a strength like we have never known and a sense of security in case we fall because we know God’s true love covers all. This same love that we have for our children is the same love that God wants us to have in the family of God. When someone falls be there to help pick them up! If someone is in need reach out however you can! If someone is hurting let them know that you are there! And if someone simply needs some encouragement show them that you truly do care…amen
