a todler at work made me think of something

I got something cool on friday at work…

A little toddler crawled out from under the change room door where his mum was trying on clothes. I’m assuming, by the amount of effort the little guy was putting into getting out to the hallway, that he had only just learned how to crawl.

He had the biggest grin on his face and his eyes were like saucers- looking around at all new, unfamiliar things around him. He caught sight of a shiny silver display stand and charged at it on all four little legs, reaching up with his pudgy awkward hand when he was near it. Mum came out a second later, scooping him up and scolding him playfully for trying to run away. He was safe in her arms. I was floored with this sense that I had witnessed something divine. It felt like God was saying, “That’s how things were meant to be. I wanted to share this fabulous world that I made and all of the stuff I put in it with you and to love you. I don’t want you to run off but when you do I will pick you up and I will hold you and I will care for you”.

Woah. Our God is an awesome God.
