When our son was about nine months old, he was going through a phase where he would throw fits if he wasn't getting something he wanted immediately. My level of annoyance had reached a new high, and I found myself in a silly monologue with him, like he could understand my reasoning. Afterward, it hit me—so THIS is how God sometimes feels about me as his child! 

I was recently moved to tears with the comparison of a sweet moment with my baby in the lobby at church and the insight from a book I was reading about the way God communicates to us. If you currently find yourself in a state of chaos, fear or confusion, I hope this post is encouraging to you.
