There was a baby who could not crawl, walk or run. The mother took the baby and set the baby up. The mother repeated this step every morning until the baby turned into a toddler.

Eventually, the toddler leaned forward and tried to crawl but fell back down. With loving arms the mother help the toddler back up to crawl. Still falling, feeling alone and afraid, the toddler would cry until one day the toddler giggled because the toddler could now crawl on the floor.

Next the mother stood in front of the toddler and help the toddler stand while the mother was taking steps back, holding onto the toddler's hands. Eventually the mother let go of the toddler's hands and the toddler would fall on the floor and cry. The mother repeated this step everyday until the toddler would start to get back up.

The toddler would cry every single time as the toddler would take a couple steps towards the mother. The toddler was sad that the mother kept stepping back every time the toddler wanted to walk towards her. It made the toddler feel sad longing for the mother.

Then one day the toddler did not fall and continued stepping towards the mother and the mother stepped back again but this time the toddler did not fall.

Days went by and the toddler kept trying to walk towards the mother. Suddenly one day as the toddler was walking towards the mother and the mother was stepping back the toddler started to run towards the mother and the mother stopped stepping back. The child ran into the mother's arms and the mother embrace the child with such Joy and picked up the child.

The moral of the story is this; the mother purposely step back and let the child fall in her presence because she wanted to help the child to learn and grow. Feeling alone, is not always a bad thing.

We serve a jealous, just, and righteous God who demands our attention. Sometimes God purposely steps back so we will run to Him. He never leaves even when we cannot feel Him and He is always there. We are never alone.

The mother was always there with the toddler. The mother loved the child more than anything and God loves us more than anything.

If you feel alone, start running towards God instead of crawling and walking towards Him. He wants to take the place where you are at in your loneliness and take you to a different level.

He desires to draw you closer to Him because He loves you enough to grow you. He cannot bless you in the abundant joys of His heart when you do not draw closer into Him.

Step out of the nest where you feel safe from harm and feel guarded because you are no longer a baby bird. Be brave, Mount your wings, fear not, and soar like a Eagle to Your Heavenly Father. Trust in the true power of your Almighty God.

Welcome to CC. This is the Introductions forum. Your OP is more appropriate for the Family forum. :)

Welcome! Thanks for the blessing.

However, I need to point out, that once we turn and head towards the Father, it is HE that runs toward us. Like Prodigal sons.

Welcome to CC, Christy!!

Your OP reminds me of the song "Life's a Dance" by country singer John Michael Montgomery. ;)

Amen! That OP is so beautiful!

Revelations 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
