How it hurts to watch your child suffer
by comingjoy

It was difficult watching my daughter choking on her secretions and seeing her not feel well. As a parent it hurts when you see your child suffer and there is not much one can do but watch and offer comfort till it passes.
How often is God our heavenly Father hurting as He watches us struggle? Rather we are choking on our sin and the consequences or just choking on trying to live life.
Oh how I must grieve my Father because I would not let HIM help me or allow HIM to comfort me when I am not feeling good, That when physically sick or emotionally hurt I do not go to HIM. Oh how it must hurt HIM to watch me struggle as I choke on trying to live life with out His help.
But oh how it must bring HIM joy when I do turn to HIM and lift up my hands ready to not only seek HIS counsel and comfort but ready to receive it as well. Just as it brought me joy as a parent when I saw that my daughter was able to sleep peacefully through the night showing signs of recovery.
