Brazil Update: Policia and Firm Grasps

He ran up to me and yelled "Policia!" tagging me he ran away, and so I yelled and ran after him, catching him I picked Him up and spun him around over my shoulder. This game went on for 30minutes with about 10 other kids.
This afternoon was so amazing! We had "church" with the kids here and then went and played games, while  I was just watching them this little boy came up to me, and what I wrote in the intro happened. Running around I would begin to grow tired, and sit down, with a mob of kids around me yelling "POLICIA!!!" I would get up and yell, and they would all run screaming, it was so funny.
After sitting here in my bed, I realized something. Our faith is very similar to this game. We run around in life, yelling and screaming for help, but the whole time we run from the one who wants to pick us up. That is God, and just like when I would catch one of these little kids, God picks us up and holds us tight, not letting the world pull us down. He has a firm grasp on us.
However sometimes we fight back, like the kids would, and He places us back down so we will run to Him. Because just like I began to get tired of running around, we begin to get tired and weary in our life and faith.
So ask yourself, are you like those who run, or like the little ones who are held firm with the guidance of Christ?
