The Child Metaphor

I have discovered what I have come to call "the Child Metaphor." It is a simple exercise of spiritual interest that requires little: Watch children. It is amazing how much one can learn about the relationship between us and God when you watch the relationship of a child with his/her parents. Try it out. Next time you're watching a little child play or cry or whine, ask God to show you how it relates to you and Him. You might be surprised at the truth you discover.
I'll have more to say about children soon.
