1. His immense patience!. Being a mommy and very definitely a sinful mommy. I am often impatient with my little ones. I don't know what I expect from a two year old and a four year old. But I know I often set my expectations too high and when they aren't fulfilled, I sin. This grieves me and I often have to beg them and the Lord for forgiveness. But it also reminds me of my heavenly Fathers amazing patience. He is perfect. He calls me to "be holy as [He] is holy (1 Peter 1:16) and yet He is ever so lovingly patient with me as I epically fail over and over and over again.
2. Gods desire to hear from us. Being the yucky sinner that I am I've noticed recently that I don't liked to be bugged over and over about things. I've even gone so far as to tell Chloe "I don't want you to ask me for that. When I'm ready i'll give it to you." (which may not be all bad in certain situations) But, the other day while learning more about prayer and Gods sovereignty it occurred to me that God never does that with us. He has the future perfectly planned out, He could say "you don't even have to ask I already have it all planned exactly how it will be so you might as well just save your breath." No, he wants us to come to Him! To ask him for the things that we need, want and desire. He even wants us to ask Him for the things that we already know he'll do for us! Mathew 7:11 "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
