I wrote this during a morning devotion and thought it would be good place to write it out.

Why I'm Glad God Doesn't Parent Like Me

He didn't make mistakes with His firstborn and then over-correct with all the other one that come behind.

He doesn't play favorites, ever.

He knows when to step in, when to let them fall but He's always there to dust them off.

He doesn't hover, trying to keep them from making mistakes.

He never says he has to finish cleaning the bathroom before He can sit and cuddle up with a favorite book.

He never yells, though He does get angry. But His anger instructs, never tears down or makes it a fearful thing to get close to Him.

He expects a lot but He never nags. He always leads by example.

And I made all those mistakes before lunch on Monday.

Joyfully,

Elyse
