The other day, I asked Natalie to get something for me. I told her that it was on the side table next to the couch. She told me that she couldn't find it.
"It's on that little table right there, next to the couch."
"Oh," she said, picking up the requested item. "You were hiding it from me."
"Well, I wasn't trying to hide it from you!"
Sometimes I wonder if God thinks that very thing. We moan about how hard it is to find an answer, or to find Him, and all the while He's speaking to us (or just not saying anything different from what He said the first time). I can see Him laughing, just like I did.
I'm not trying to hide it from you!
Good illustration! I love the way our relationships with our children teach us how to better relate with God. He did us a big favor right there. :)
