God 'Our Parent'

This time of the year we have holidays which honor our parents. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Parents use their experience for their children’s benefit, giving them advantages in lessons perhaps the parents didn’t learn easily. To a greater degree, God does similar...⁣⁣ using His knowledge and experience to benefit us.

Thankfully, God doesn’t make mistakes... humans do. What God says proves true - it is not just another perspective equal to human ‘wisdom’... Some things our parents told us may be inaccurate, but attempting to prove God wrong is a hurtful waste of time. Just like a loving parent, God tries to ‘shield’ us from getting hurt by things life throws at us.⁣⁣

It’s our attentiveness and trust which set the right circumstances for our success and happiness.⁣⁣

God designed life and knows the BEST way to live it. What a great parent God is!⁣⁣
