Can't wait to see daddy!

Just the other day, a thought was shared in our prayer fellowship, which is a simple but profound one. It goes like this ...

We ought to come before God, not like a beggar, but like a child. Everyone who receives Jesus has rightfully become a child of God (read John 1:12-13).

The beggar keeps begging for this and that. Just like that, when we go before God the Father, we shouldn't keep on asking for this and that.

The child, on the other hand, is longing to see dad come back home in the evening. S/he is waiting at the door, stretching to see if s/he can catch the first glimpse of dad returning home. That's the kind of eagerness we need to develop - longing to see God the Father's face. Spending time with Him. Getting to know Him more and more.
