As a Child...

4/23/2016

"Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good." -Psalm 25:6-7 (NIV)
When interacting with and responding to my middle school students I sometimes need to remind myself that my students are still children.  My expectations need to be reasonable and matched to the developmental level of my students.  In our spiritual lives, God knows that we, too, require understanding about our "childish" ways.

Just as the Psalmist asks God to forget his childish ways, we need God to forget about our childish thoughts and behaviors.  As God's children, we can grow and mature in Him.  We may at times be foolish or rebellious, but God loves us.  He knows that we are still growing as His children.  God loves each and every one of us.  He has given us His Son to provide us with a way to erase our childish and foolish behaviors so that we can be fully embraced as one of His children for all of eternity!

Even though you may act as a child, God loves you and provides redemption through His Son!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for redeeming me.  Help me to put my childish ways behind me so that I can grow in Your love.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
