As A Child......

Luke 18:17 says, Truly I say to you, whoever does not accept and receive and welcome the kingdom of God like a little child [does] shall not in any way enter it [at all]. 

Have you thought about this statement?  God hears the simplest, faintest cry and receives the most child-like requests...I have learned just a few things from watching my children.  I used to think that they were complicated but now I know that they aren't complicated, we as parents make them complicated.  Children have no trouble letting you know what they want, running into your arms when they are afraid, or giving you a big generous kiss, sometimes for no apparent reason.  If they are told something, they believe it completely...if they read something, then it is set in stone...just has to be true..When they ask their parents a question, they fully expect to get an answer. Children are not sophisticated enough to hide their hearts or feelings very well and as a result communicating with them can be easy and refreshing at times.  Maybe we all need to put some of their actions into practice.  That's the way God wants us to be when we go to him.  We need to approach God with childlike simplicity and wait, eager to hear what He has to say to us.  Just as children are naturally inclined to trust their parents completely, we also need to be innocent, pure, and free from doubt as we trust God's voice.  When we pray with simple, childlike faith, we can experience God's miracle-working power and see things change.  Today, I challenge you, as you pray today, call God, "Daddy", and confide in him completely.  God is SIMPLE, His promises are simple, His laws are simple, His reward system is simple, His divine healing is simple, He is simple because He created it all.  We are the ones who make it hard & complicated.

  1. Amen, I totally agree..I wish more messages like these were actually preached in the churches..It is about a relationship with God not just an experience.
