God calls me His child but does he expect me to act like one?

Can you relate to this scenario I am about to share? bear with me cause it will have a point at the end.

As a mom/parent have you ever been making supper and on the phone or busy doing things and one of your kids comes up to you and says "mom, I'm hungry!' Because I am in the middle of something i may not answer them or I will give them the signal with my hand "one minute".

Again they tap your arm and whisper "mom when is supper I'm hungry" I whisper back "soon just wait"

a few minutes later they are tapping on me and poking me. "mom? MOM?"

I ignore it this time because I have heard the request and I am working on it.

More poking, louder voices "MOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! I'm hungry"

WAIT!!! I say

finally a stomping and crying and wailing begins to errupt. Maybe threats like you don't love me, you want me to die....immature rants. You get the picture

I stop and give them a small snack to satisfy their whining and their needs and tell them the good stuff is coming I am working on it and it takes a little more time.

I realized that is me with God. The last little while i am saying "God what about this situation here". He says to me "Wait. I'm working on it"

I poke him again and say "GOD please didn't you hear me, I have a situation here." He gives me the signal "just wait on me"

I begin poking and whining and saying why aren't you listening to me. I stomp my feet and I threaten and cry. You dont' love me, you dont' care....

This week God gave me my snack and said I heard you. This will satisfy you and wait honey cause I am still working on the big stuff.

I love HIM! He is my Father! He cares for my needs. Just like I care for my childrens' needs.

He looks at me and I know he calls me child, but maybe I shouldn't act so much like one. HMMMMMMM
