Like the Wind...

The wind seemed to catch my attention today.
It was a really gusty day today,
and despite it being hot and sunny in the day,
right now it's a little chilly and a lot windy.

I like to listen to the sound of wind,
maybe hoping to hear something.
Sometimes I feel as though it's trying,
trying to whisper something into my noisy head.

It reminded me of God's presence somehow.
God's presence can be like the wind,
we can feel Him when He is around,
and we can hear Him when it seems obvious.

But then what about the quiet days?
When the wind is not around,
does it seize to exist and is nowhere to be found?
Wind does not disappear from the earth.

God is not just a mere feeling for us.
Just because we cannot hear Him or feel Him,
it does not mean He has abandoned His little ones.
But He is just like a parent..a Father to us.

As a parent helps their little ones walk for the first time,
they constantly hold their hands and walk by their side.
The little one relies on their parent's support entire,
as they walk they feel comfortable in their parent's hand.

Until one day the parents step back and watch.
And the little one feels insecure for a moment,
but the parent's efforts pay off with excitement,
to see the little one walking all on their own.

And that's how God works in our lives it seems.
He is our Father in heaven and He is always there.
He is like the wind which is constantly in the air.
And still the wind is whispering at this moment right now.
