Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me. Isaiah 49:16
I once heard a Christian child psychologist discuss the necessity of some conflict and power struggle with teenagers. He explained that a certain amount of difficulty must naturally arise as children become young adults, or parents would never be able to “help them” out of the nest and on to independence. He said, “If the bond we had with them as infants did not change, we would never be able to let them go.” All our lives, however, God retains the strong feelings toward us that infants evoke in their parents, because He never has to let us go! He's not rearing us to leave home, but to come home!
