Thought from the Prince

I caught the end of the fresh prince this morning as I was watching my nephew play with his legos. It happened to be one of my favorite episodes. It is when Will's dad comes to visit and then leaves him again. It always makes me tear up. This time I was thinking about people leaving people and not just father's leaving their children.

Why are we always afraid of people leaving us? I know for a long time I hated it when people left me. They could care so much for me but if they moved away from me then they abadoned me. For a long time I had a hard time leaving others cause I didn't want to abandon them. I finally realized that I need to physically move but I wasn't abadoning of leaving them. I still care for them and it is such a more selfless care then before.

I look at my nephew and watch him build a tower. He is so adorable and I see how he is being raised without both of his parents and just like Will I can see him asking someday " why don't my parents want me?" He is going to wonder what he did that caused them to leave him. what am I going to say if he asks me that question?

As I thought about it this morning Why don't we care that God's wants us. We always want to be wanted by others but we never stop to think about the Creator of the World wanting us, loving us, and just wants to take us in his arm and spoil us.

The God that gave Jordan his talent. The God that gave Ravi Zachrias or Einstein there intellect. The God that gave Princess Diana and Patrick Swayze their looks. The God that created a big huge ball of fire to keep us warm. God loves us so much and wants to be a part of our lives and he will never leave us or abandon us. So when my nephew asks me why his parents don't want him. I will tell him that it doesn't matter about weather his parents want him or not because God wants him and that is all that matters.

It was hard for me to be content with that but then I realized that God created all the people that I wanted to be wanted by so he will know the needs I was trying to meet by them and he will be able to do a better job.
