This
is what I want by Being a father requires incredible amounts of patience at times. Today was one of those days!
Harry
was sitting chatting to a friend on the front balcony when his daughter
Cassie interrupted the conversation.
She slunk unobtrusively to her father’s ear and whispered her obvious
displeasure, quietly, so the guest could not hear.
The next
moment Harry called out to his son through the security front door,
instructing Chris to turn off the Playstation and
informing him that they would talk later.
The resistant son questioned his father twice, and each time Harry
replied, “This is what I want… and I’ll explain later!”
It was a
battle of the will between Harry and Chris, and it was critical that Chris
learn to submit to his father’s authority.
So too
with our relationship with God! He knows what He wants, and through
submitting our will to him, we find the happiness planned for us. All this
for our own good! “And
yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We
are the clay and you are the Potter.
We are all formed by your hand.” Today, are you ready to submit to what He wants?

Finally,
on the third request, Chris relinquished, and turned off the game.
