HIDE 'N SEEK
When I was little I loved to play hide ‘n seek with my mom at the store. Well she didn’t know we were playing, but I was playing. The goal was to run from hiding place to hiding place without my mom seeing me. I loved hiding in the clothes racks or just around the corner from her. There were so many fun places to hide.
I didn’t know this trait is hereditary, but my kids love to play secret hide ‘n seek too. Most of the time my “mom sense” knows where they are hiding, but every now and then they find a really good spot. And when I can’t find them right away my heart drops and I call for them in that desperate mom voice that’s trying to keep it together.
This is like God and us. When we get away from our group and feel lonely, God is seeking us and calling us back to Him.
Psalm 27:10 says “…the Lord will hold me close” Our God will not give up looking for us. And when he finds us, He rejoices, He holds us close. We are not alone anymore we are found. I am found, you are found, and my children are found- and they know not to play secret hide ‘n seek anymore.
