My twenty-one-month-old, who had just learned to say, \u201cDaddy,\u201d had been struggling with asthma and an ear infection for two weeks. He coughed and sneezed continually, and his nose ran like a faucet. Each night when I came home, he ran to meet me at the door, smiling, coughing, nose running, yelling, \u201cDaddy! Daddy!\u201d<\/p>\n
I was not repulsed by his runny nose or close-range sneezes in the least (he \u201cslimed\u201d every shirt I own!). I love him deeply and enjoy his love for me.<\/p>\n
It does remind me, though, that when I am sick with sin, God loves me deeply and desires that I run to him as a son, crying, \u201cAbba, Father.\u201d<\/p>\n
