17, 12, 7, 6, and almost 1. What do these numbers have in common? They are the ages of my children. This spacing wasn’t planned by us, just by God. It is a really cool position as a parent to see all these levels of childhood experience happening at once. It makes me think of how God sees us. We only see the now and the past of our life, but God sees the future too. He sees us in the past, present and future all at once, sort of like I see my kids in their various ages all at once. He sees who we are becoming. He sees the finished product of his efforts in our life.
Don’t feel bad about the failures and shortcomings in your life. Know that God is still working on you and He loves you! You are one of his children!
