Little Children

Matthew 18:3-5 Verily I say unto you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.   Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.   And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.

What does it mean to become like a child? It means to believe, have faith and obey just as a young child does to their parents or guardians. A child loves and trusts in whom they love and trust. They do not question, they just trust that they will be lead in the right path. A child's love is pure. The love they have is unconditional. Children have great faith even when they cannot see it. A young child will humble themselves before their parents.

So in that same way, have faith and obey God just as young child does their parents. Specifically, live and obey the Father. Do not question, trust that God will lead you in the right path. God's love is pure. Allow Him to pour His pure love into you. Ask God in prayer to increase your capacity to receive this love and to let it over flow so that others may taste and see that the Lord is good. Have great faith. Pray "Jesus, I believe but help in my lack of belief."

Stop looking to see God work in the background. Stop trying to guess what His next move will be or what He is doing. Don't try to understand Him. His thoughts are not our thoughts. His thoughts are much too high for our feeble brain. Just rest in the fact that God knows what's best, He hasn't forgot you and He hasn't left you. Humble yourself before the Lord and He shall exalt you at the proper time.
