If I look at God as a parent, I see him through different eyes now, having experienced it. I see the wonder and joy of little ones carrying his very own DNA. I see the warm pride in their growth and accomplishments. The sad ache when they fail. I see the need to let them choose their own path, even though it may not have been what he would have chosen for them. I see his deep heart-joy with every happiness they experience. And his piercing pain when life tears them down. And I understand the need to let them go, even when his heart would hold them closer. And that he will still love each child, deeply, uniquely, forever, no matter what it costs him. Never doubt who you are to him. You are his child. ❤️
