Da Main Course: Daddy

So it's 12:45am on March 25 and I am waiting for my son Isaiah William Rodriguez to make his appearance. We have been at the hospital for for 11 hours now and the anticipation is killing me right now. When is he going to be born, what will he look like, how much is life going to change?

As I sit here with all this extra time on my hands I can't help but think about the spiritual aspect of it and how this relates to our relationship with God. I wonder if this is how God feels before we accept Him into our lives. He waits anxiously for us to look up to him and realize our need for a savior, just like my son will look up at me. He is waiting to wrap his arms around us and welcome us home, in the same way I am waiting to hold my little boy for the first time.

I love my son and i have never even met him before, and God loves us even though we sin against him. He will be totally dependent on me to do everything for him, in the same way we should be totally dependent on God for everything in our lives.

You are God's little boy or girl and he so much wants to be a part of your life. To help you grow, to teach you new things, to let you sit on his lap. But will you let him be your "Daddy?"
