Welcome to parenthood! I am officially a new mommy. July 28th, 2012 has forever changed my heart, and my life. My beautiful Isabella has arrived! How I have learned so much, even in this past week.
My perspective as God as the Father is so new! As new parents know, newborns don't sleep a whole lot through the night. They cry, get hungry, spit up, poop/pee, cry, cry and cry! :) It's hard for me to sleep mostly because I am wanting to make sure she is ok. The first whimper or sound I am quick to get her. I do not ignore those cries. I do not shut her out. It makes me think of God, how He responds to our cries. It tends to be in the nighttime, the darker moments of our lives when we feel He is the furthest away. How could I who loves my daughter so much ignore her desperate attempts to get my attention. BUT GOD, who loves us more then we will ever be able to understand, will never ignore our attempts to get his attention. He will always hear us when we cry out to him. He does not ignore us. It may not be a quick response, but He is always on time. He may not respond the way we expect, but He will always meet our needs. Psalm 37:25 says, "I have been young and now am old; yet i have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread." Psalm 40:1-2, "I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and established my steps." Our Father God is always tending to us whether we can see Him or not:)
