A Lesson from my son..

Hello friends,
I hope the year has been full of accomplishments despite the numerous challenges that may have come your way.In all these, keep your head high.

My one year old son recently started walking confidently by himself and I must confess he's loving the experience. He does it with pride and joy. He doesn't even mind if you leave him all alone as long as he's got space and he isn't locked up. He's ready to go all the way, exploring every possible inch. Quite interesting and tasking especially when I have to chase after him wondering where he's actually headed- no where. Something I find more fascinating is that there are times when he actually wants to relish a time to grab my finger and we just walk together within the house. I think its a time he really enjoys especially doing it just for the fun of it and other times to help him communicate a need or play time(football). As reluctant as I get sometimes to grab him by the hand and walk around with him, I never get tired of it and try not to disappoint him. A deep part of me feels glad and happy that I am being a part of his life.
 In the same way I am learning daily to let go of my strengths and freedom in search of God's hand to hold and allow HIM (God) lead the way. There are a good number of things I feel confident I can do all by myself without the thought of God but its equally important to draw strength and confidence from God to know that I am doing the mind, purpose and plan of God per time. Its better to walk with God and achieve His will than to run and achieve much without His involvement. Will you grab hold of God and make your life's journey(walk) with Him. He said "...I will never leave you nor forsake you"(Heb 13: 5), so you can trust Him. Psalm 23:3 says "even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because thou areth with me". Your walk through life can be confident and assuring when you do it with Jesus. Walk with Him. He will never disappoint you.
