Today my nephew and I went outside to play in the snow for a little bit (I could only handle it for like 10 min if that). As we were playing there were a couple times when he needed my assistance to get up or not fall. As he was getting out of the sled I told him that to take my hand and I will help him out. He did which was a good thing because he slipped and i was able to grab him before he fell. There have been other times when I told him to take my hand and he says " No, I can do it" so knowing that he was going to fall I let him do it and watch him fall.
I think we are like that with God at times. God is telling us to take a hold of his hand so we don't fall and we tell him that we can do it so he allows us to try. We try to live life on our own and we fall. Its not that God doesn't love us or He leaves us. It is that we want to be able to do it ourselves and we can't. God already knows that we can't be he has to let us see it for ourselves. One day we will learn and we will take his hand and let him help was. Until then we will just keep slipping and falling.
