Picture this:\u00a0 God is filling out His tax forms right now and He\u2019s checking the box for DEPENDENTS and listing YOU as His beloved child.\u00a0 His love for you is beyond measure and ever present.\u00a0 We truly are God\u2019s kids and He claims us as His prized creations.<\/p>\n

Before this life brought me to the end of myself, I was \u201cSelf-Sufficient Susan.\u201d More often than not, I acted and lived as though it all depended on me.\u00a0 My efforts.\u00a0 My control.\u00a0 My agenda.\u00a0 Then I hit ROCKbottom.\u00a0 That\u2019s when I was inspired to write the Declaration of Dependence \u2013 the link is below if you\u2019d like to read it.<\/p>\n

These days, as often as possible, I begin each day in my cozy chair and I declare my absolute dependence on my Heavenly Father.\u00a0 My time with Him keeps me grounded.\u00a0 My time with Him loosens my grip on life.\u00a0 My time with Him reminds me that there is only one true God (and it\u2019s not me) and He invites all of us to call Him \u201cABBA.\u201d Translation?\u00a0 \u201cDADDY!\u201d<\/p>\n

When you start to take life too seriously and you begin to crumble under the pressure and deadlines, try hanging out with your Heavenly Daddy.\u00a0 Crawl up into his lap and become as a little dependent child with childlike faith.\u00a0 Place your hand in His and allow Him to lead you.\u00a0 Stay until the peace comes.<\/p>\n

God is inviting us to trust Him and Him alone.\u00a0 For everything.\u00a0 Can you carve out a pocket of peace today to declare your humble dependence on Him?\u00a0 Give it a try.\u00a0 No doubt you\u2019ll get a great return!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
