Be Gullible

Matthew 18:1-4
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

I was watching a reality show the other day...I know what you're thing but they are addicting. The mom was having a hard time with life and the one that had the faith that life would change was her small son. I am not sure, if the mom was comforted by her son's faith based response...but I took notice.

Having children will change someone's life in many ways. As newborn babies become children, hopefully these blessings change our level of faith in God. Children have a unique way of being so agreeable sometimes. They may seem a bit gullible at times and some children more so than others. They take their parents at their word and believe whatever they tell them. They KNOW that you will feel better; they KNOW the bills are paid. They also know they will be fed, clothes, and protected. There is no anxiety because they just believe.

When we become "Grown-up Christians" it is the hope of God that we will move to a child-like faith. One that believes our father's word. One that moves from questions to an assurance. Once God says it there are no more questions. I love the fact that God makes our relationship with our earthly children as he desires our relationship to be with him....one where we take him at his word. Believe God today; know that when he tells you something he will do it. Know that he will take care of your every need...Know that you are dearly loved and rest easy knowing that having God as your father means you never have to worry again.
