Since becoming a daddy a year and a half ago, Daddy God has taught me quite a few things. Last night I learned a new about sin. Micah loves to climb up on the couch and go behind to get to some diapers we keep there for Levi (but the biggest reason we don’t want him to go back there is because he usually bangs his head pretty hard and gets hurt). We have told him several times not to go back there, and IMHO Micah is an amazing child that understands, and for the most part, does what mommy and daddy tell him to do. We last night Micah had quickly climbed back behind the couch (which I saw and told him not to do) and quickly started pulling out all the diapers and wipies from behind the couch. As I walked over toward him, and called his name, he hid behind the curtains. I called his name again when I reached him, and he got quiet and still. I moved the curtain and retrieved my son. I sat him on my lap and reminded him not to go back there, and started to love on him.

At that moment God reminded me of what my sin is like. He calls to me, I hide (well I try to), when I am sinning I forget that He is trying to keep me from hurting myself. Sin keeps us distant from the love of the Daddy God, but is also tricks us into staying away from that love. Almost as if the sin loves us more then Daddy God does. Either way Gods goal is to lift me out of that sin, put me on His lap and love on me.
