He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them. // 2 Corinthians 1:4

My child’s feelings are hurt. I tell them they're special. When they're afraid, I won’t go to sleep until they're secure.
I’m not a hero .… I’m a parent. When a child hurts, a parent does what comes naturally. They help.…

Why don’t I let my Father do for me what I am more than willing to do for my own children?

I’m learning.

Being a parent is teaching me that when I am criticized, injured, or afraid, there is a Father who is ready to comfort me. There is a Father who will hold me until I’m better, help me until I can live with the hurt, and who won’t go to sleep when I’m afraid of waking up and seeing the dark. Ever.
