As Little Children

He (God) does not want me out on my own, trying to earn merit stars for him. He wants us, rather, to lean into him, walking with him as closely as possible. He is not so much interested in our doing as in our receiving from him. Jim Cymbala, Fresh Faith

This quote reminds me of the way I relate to my grandchildren. My first thought with them is not what they will do for me but how I can do for them and enjoy them where they are! How much more does the Father yearn for His children to come to Him in simple faith.
