Quick-Simple thoughts...
Today at work a father and son came in
for lunch. The gentleman began to order a meal for his son. He turned
to the boy and asked, “What do you want to drink? Dr Pepper, Coke,
Sprite?” The little boy without hesitation asked, “What are you
gonna have daddy?” The man replied, “I'm having Dr Pepper.”
The young lad concluded, “That's what I want.” I was immediately
inspired. What a perfect picture of what our relationship should look
like with our Heavenly Daddy!
As we move about our day to day lives,
that should be our attitude, What are you having Daddy? What do you
want to see happen today? How do you want to use me today? And our
response should be the same as the young boy, That's what I want! We
should be lined up and tuned in to what our Father wants. We should
want to be right by His side, doing what He's doing, going where He's
going...
Maybe this concept seems foolish to
you, or foreign perhaps. Maybe you didn't have a dad growing up, or
maybe your father or father figure left something to be desired. I
realize our backgrounds are all different. Think then on a hero, a
great friend, or mentor. Have they ever done something or possessed
something you wanted to have. It's the same concept with Jesus. He
possesses, embodies, and encompasses all that we should want, need or
desire. We should want to be like Him, be close to Him, and choose
the things He chooses. And just think, His ways are higher than ours,
His will is perfect, His actions are full of grace and mercy.... How
can you go wrong saying, “That's what I want.”?
