I had some personal insight today that I felt like sharing. Our children are bombarded by external influences in media and from friends, some that are wanted, and some that our kids may not be ready to understand and others they should really stay away from. My 6 year old Daughter is wanting to push the envelop and experience things beyond what her abilities would safely allow and what her mental capacity could comprehend. There are times that she has been very frustrated with me because I have had to restrict her from certain things because I knew she wasnt quite ready yet. I essentially pull in the reins because what she felt she was ready for would actually be too much for her to bear right now. I was then looking at my own life and my relationship with God; how many times have I felt the same way that my daughter has? I will make so much progress towards something and then something ends up happening where I feel that I am cut down, blocked from progressing towards what goal I want to achieve. I realized that maybe these things are happening because God loves me enough to cut me down, so that I dont get into things that are really too much for me to handle. To this, I give thankful praise to a God that loves me enough to cut me down, to pull in the reins until I am ready.
