Child of God

Why do we find it so hard to trust God in the midst of our trials and tribulations? It is easy to trust God when everything is going your way; when you are healthy, happy, and the bills are paid. But, when your world is turned upside down...where is your trust then?

Children have 110% trust and faith in their parents. When a father corrects their child, the child will do what the dad said because they trust in him. The may not understand everything but the trust is there. That little child knows how much his dad loves him no matter!!

I remember when my son Caden was about 3 and we would go to the playground. He would be so afraid to go down the big slide. He would say "mom just hold my hand." He felt secure with me holding his hand and he was able to go down the slide even though he was still afraid. He had complete trust that I would not let him get hurt, and if he fell I would be there to pick him up.

As Christians we need to be like children and trust our heavenly father no matter what the circumstances look like.  God calls us his children!!! How much more should we have trust in him. He created us and knows everything about us. He calls us son & daughter.

1 John 3:1
"See how very much our FATHER loves us, for her calls us HIS CHILDREN, and that is what we are!"

Trust God because He is your heavenly Father and loves you unconditionally. There is nothing you can do or say that can make him love you less.  Take His hand and know son, daughter, you are secure in His care. 

Ps 2:7
"The Lord said "You are my son, and I have become your Father.""
