Through a simple moment with his son, Strahan reflects on a deeper truth about our relationship with God. It’s easy to love what God gives us, but beneath every blessing is a Father who simply wants us. In seasons when the gifts seem absent and life feels dry, we may discover what our souls have been longing for all along, not more from God, but more of Him.
