A toddler learning to walk falls. One looks up to their parent for help and waits to be lifted. Another falls, but summons courage and strength from within to stand on their own.
At the end of the day, the parent is proud of the one who stands, not the one who cries for help. The one who stands grows stronger and becomes independent. The one who always cries remains dependent.
Even God, like a parent, would be proud of those who look within themselves to change their lives, rather than constantly pleading for intervention.
This lesson is not just about toddlers. Most people, if given the choice, naturally prefer to believe in and look up to a God outside themselves—praying, hoping, wishing for their lives to be turned around.
Compared to discovering God within, where the responsibility to transform their own lives rests entirely on them.
A Carpenter once said figuratively: “The Kingdom is within you.” Many agree with this theologically, but in practice, most are far behind.
The closest place to find God is NOT OUT THERE BUT IN HERE. So get up!
