Running away.

Lately I have found myself many times wishing I could run away.  Away from what is the question.  I love my family...  I have friends... I am not lacking in any area to the point of not living, so what is the problem?

As I called my grandson to come to me and he turned the opposite direction and ran away I saw a truth before my eyes.  Why would he run from someone who loves him so much? Well, he doesn't know that some things he may not like are actually for his good.

When I feel like I need to run away is it because I don't realize how much I am loved and cared for, and that things may actually be working for my good -  even in the midst of the pressure and stress? 

Maybe I need to run into His arms and tell Him I know He is out for my good - even when everything is saying not so.

Is this why God asked Adam in the garden, "Adam, where are you?"

God was well aware of where he was... Adam was running away from the very Love that made him.

Running away... Are you running away from the pressure that will make the new way for you - if only you will endure?

Lord,  help me realize you know better than I the beginning and the end. I can trust you to take great care of me and I can run to you at anytime and in any condition I find myself in -- for you are truly out for my good.
