We spent some time this afternoon teaching Nathan to ride his bike (without any side wheels). As he continues to learn how to ride we still need to run alongside him, holding the seat from time to time, keeping him balanced. What is exhilarating to witness is how a child laughs and smiles as they sense their new freedom. Nathan was no different.
There were many moments when he was smiling so much that he didn't realise that we weren't holding on anymore - his trust in us allowed us to run alongside him, but to give him the chance to ride for himself.
This image speaks to me of how God does the same for us. He walks/runs alongside us, smiling as we enjoy the Life he has given us. Of course He is still right beside us when we lose our balance and we need His strong hand to keep us upright.
May God's loving hand be with you this week, as you "ride" in the freedom of His Grace.
