"Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the
kingdom of God like a child will not enter it"
Mark 10:15
A follow up to yesterdays post. As I was reading through other blogs (all of
which are tons better then mine) and I was struck by an article reminding me of
this verse and bit of truth given to us by Jesus.
To have the faith of a child is what we are all called to
have. That is one of the reasons I have
no desire to "grow up".
Think about it.
Children wake up each day with an excitement for life. They go through the day seeking joy and
laughter. They worry about very little,
if nothing at all. They do not pretend or act like they know
anything, like so many grown ups do.
They simply live life for the joy of it.
That is how we should all live. That is how I want to live. I do not want to live anymore like I know
what God's plan is for me. I want to
drop all of my knowledge and aspirations for the future and simply live each
day for God. I want to live like a
child, with childlike faith and trust in God.
We should all want to wake up each new day with childlike excitement
wanting to experience God in a new way.
I want to quit pretending like I know what is best for
me. I have lived long enough to know
that I really do not and have not.
That should keep me young :)
Peace all!

To have Faith is to believe when your common sense tells you not to.
