I think maybe our relationship with God goes through stages, much like life.
As children, God teaches us complete dependence on Him, that we may learn to fear and trust Him always.
As we grow older, we gain responsibilities and freedoms. The rules that we once followed blindly, we learn have purpose behind them.
Follow this track onward, you might think God is leading us to a place of independence. Indeed, that's how our culture portrays the stages of life. But, God designed something different. He leads us to a sort of interdependence. A partnership. A marriage. And this is far more beautiful than anything that man could contrive.
Blessings brother! Your work is precious in the sight of our heavenly Father.
