"For all who are led by the Holy Spirit are children of God."
We are all called to be Children of God, but the question is: are we behaving in a manner which is Childlike, or in a way which is Childish?
Are we frequently demanding things from God, with an 'I want' attitude? If I remember correctly, in the eyes of a small child, everything belongs to them. If they are holding it, and it's theirs, it belongs to them. If you are holding it and it is yours, it belongs to them. If someone on the other side of the room is holding it, it still belongs to them. If it's on the floor and nobody is using it, guess who it belongs to? Them. Does everything belong to you? Or does it belong to God?
Or do we have a gentle, milder, softer approach to life? Are we giving up the great 'I want' for the even greater 'I AM'? He gave up his throne, to come into a wolrd full of pain, suffering, fear and hatred, knowing what would happen while he was here. He gave up his life for you, for me, for everyone. So the least we can offer him in return is nowhere near what he deserves. We should be giving our lives to him, giving our all to him, with grace and humility.
"For this is what
I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love
That pleases you
And I will give
My all to you
Surrender everything I have
And follow you
I'll follow you."
But sin is like rain. Sometimes it doesn't take long to dry out, like short showers, sometimes you're soaked through for long periods of time, drenched. Then out comes the SON, and dries up all the rain. You start afresh, but how long is it until the next downpour?

Bless you! I am so aware that sometimes we want to do so many new ventures and so many outreaches and we are simply demanding God's blessing because somehow we earned it. It is His to give and if we work in His plan we will never lack
