Are You Still There?

I was just reading Darcy's (one of my dear friends ) blog about her little girl from China. She was giving everyone an update on how Elizabeth was doing with various things and one thing in particular grabbed me and I wanted to blog about it.



"She is daring to just walk off, but will look behind her shoulder just to make sure I am still around."
This quote makes me think of a relationship with God. He tells us to trust Him and so while we're out in the world living, it's nice to know we can look over our shoulder and see our Father is still around.

Elizabeth has 4 teeth now and Darcy says she likes to gind them together.
"She still tries to grind them once in a while, but when she does, she immediately looks at me and waits for my comment on it."
When we do something wrong, does it make us think of God and what He would say about what we're doing? Do we look to Him and wait for His comment on the situation?
Some people call this a conscience. I call it God, the perfect parent.

If we are a child of God, it will matter to us what God thinks about what we are doing. We will seek His discipline and His approval. We will always look for Him in every situation to make sure He is still there. The reassuring thing is that we will ALWAYS find that He is STILL there!
