There are many issues in life which we have received to ourselves that have given rise to anger and fear. When we were children and into our teens we found that our face was often set at variance with those who were given charge over us. Be that our father and mother, the policeman and the teacher, or the doctor and the judge. We did not understand then - and yet we became angry and often deeply afraid. Our fear caused us to turn inward and our anger caused us to turn against ourselves and others.
Yet even were this not so we are no less made of flesh and may be no less always seeking the Father to deliver us from our childish ways - which when we see them in our own children we suddenly understand that we are seeing our selves. If then we see ourselves in our children how can we not receive the deliverance that the Father has given us in Christ? To do otherwise is to either see our children run ahead of us or else to see them stumble always.
