At what age should we, as humans, become totally independent? Making our own decisions, providing for ourselves, and leaving the nest. When should we, as parents, allow our children (not that I have any) to become independent? At some point we, as both children and parents, need to make a mutual decision to move out and grow up, however even though our earthly parents have to come to terms with and make plans for allowing us to move out and fend for ourselves in this world there is one parent that is not planning for the day we leave the nest, but the day that we return. (John 14:1-3) Independence is great, but at the same time it is comforting to know there will be someone to turn to in times of need and even though friends and family may no longer be with us there is someone who will never leave our side, He goes by many names but one that is consistently known is Jesus Christ and He loves us more that anyone can imagine. Reach out to Him and see what He is capable of, spend time with Him today and feel His presence, read His word and hear His voice, it is truly comforting.
God is good.
