Children

A child is led by their parents everywhere because they don’t know where to go. Besides that, the path may be dangerous. They can follow the wrong way, or some bad company can get close.

Parents ensure their protection, guiding them by hand, indicating where and how they must follow, and putting away all that could disturb or hurt them. Parents do their best to keep the child well.

And the child, even not knowing where is going, trusts in their parents. They don't even know all the details of the journey; they know their parents would never lead them to something bad. And even when the child thinks that was led to an unpleasant place, they find out that all makes sense, and all had a good reason.

When we are children we have more faith and trust than when we become adults. We don’t believe in the path that God is leading us on. We think that He doesn’t care about us, or He has abandoned us.

But the truth is: like a Great Loving Father, the Lord sees the whole path and the final destination. He leads us through paths that will make us grow, develop, strengthen, and become all He dreamed of.

Psalm 25:4-5

Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
