I was sharing something I had learned yesterday with everyone at dinnertime. I was telling them how thankful I was that God kept all the passages in the Bible where people are arguing with him or questioning him or pouring out their despair, anger, confusion. I love that he's not scared by our emotions. He let's us argue our point. Afterall, he named his chosen people, Israel, which means "strives (or wrestles) with God." He knows our nature. He created us...He's not scared or cornered by our arguments, doubts or emotions.
Apparently Gavin saw an immediate correlation to real life. He informed me, "Mom, arguing with God is like arguing with you."
Oh really?! Do tell...
"You're always right. No matter how good a reason I think I have or how right I think my argument is, you always have a better one. And I can't help but agree with you."
What a sweet boy. If only that were true. But in his little mind it is. What I appreciate about him is that he actually will come to me with a disagreement instead of let it fester for hours or days. And once he comes to me and we get a chance to talk things through, he always keeps an open mind. He's always wanting to learn and weigh what he knows against what someone else claims to be true.
