I love my kids most not by loving them the most but by first loving God. As soon as I take my eyes off him and my attitude falters and I begin to believe that I alone must push for them and control their destinies, the unbearable weight of playing God soon becomes apparent. When I put my eyes back on the One who always deserves my attention, then whatever fake battles are being lost around me, the true one is being won. It makes all the difference.
