Everything To Me

As I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for my family, my daughter, Kailani, started running in and out of the kitchen for different things she wanted from me.

One minute, she’d come in to get something to eat, then would run off back to her room.

Next, she’d come back to me ask for a bandaid for her finger, that had the slightest scratch on it [kids are so dramatic lol]; then she’d run off again back to her room.

After another few minutes or so, she’d come back to ask me to help her put on a hair bow and one of her princess dresses.

Moments after her third time leaving the kitchen, I began thinking about what took place, which then led me to think about God and His perspective of this moment.

God isn’t just a Father that we can run to for love, but He is also our Provider who feeds us and makes sure that we have all that we need; He is our Healer and Physician that we can go to when we are not well and is hurting (whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually). He is also our Helper for anything -whether big or small.

There is no need for us to run to other people for love, or to meet our needs, or to help with issues they could only partial resolve or do absolutely nothing about.

Kailani exemplified how we are to see our Father God and how we ought to trust him with everything because He can do anything! He can do what other people cannot do – because He is God, and they are not.

When we take a moment to spend time with our Heavenly Father, we will discover that He’s more than what we thought (or know) Him to be.

God is multifaceted, which means He has multiple (and countless) attributes and roles.

There is no need for us to run to anyone or anything else because our Father is not only what we want Him to be, but He can be anything and everything we need to be.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us"
Ephesians 3:20 NIV
