Advent 2019 - Day 7

As kids grow up, they begin to learn words, put those words into sentences, and use those sentences to communicate. However, it can be very difficult for young kids to communicate. It’s gets frustrating for kids when they know what they want, they try to communicate, but the message is not being received in the correct way.

When kids struggle to communicate, their parents have a decision to make – get frustrated like their kid and speak harshly and sternly, maybe even yell. However, a good parent knows that the best approach is to help their kid speak and communication. Good parents will get on their kid’s level and figure out what their kid wants.

In a way, God did this with us. He sent Jesus and became like us. Jesus experienced the things we experience. Jesus knows what it’s like to be frustrated, angry, sad, and happy. 

Read Ephesians 4:3-7:
"making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to one hope at your calling — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift."

How does it feel to know that the Creator of the universe has adopted you?

How should you act towards God in the mindset that He is your Father?
