“God shows up for us just like a rescuer shows up to take in an abandoned child. God is the ultimate good father; He never leaves his children out in the cold to struggle all by themselves. He keeps us moving in the right direction not always by holding our hands, but by sending goodness and mercy along the way. He pushes wisdom, knowledge, and good understanding out the door behind us so we can know he is there going before us and with us.”
