It still amazes me when little children show us how resourceful they can be. It is hard to understand how someone so small can be so self-sufficient when just a few years ago they were totally dependent on you. Children believe in God because the seed is planted at birth. Now their understanding of God and how their character develops depends on how we nourish their hearts and minds. "Child-like faith" it is called, and that is the kind of faith God wants Christians to have.
Matthew 18 Jesus called a little child to Him and put the child among them. Then He said, I tell you, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven
Lord, give us childlike faith so we can bear the cross we must carry. Lord, help us understand without the cross there is no crown and without the crown of thorns, there is no glory. Father, You said to ask, and we shall receive, seek and we shall find, knock and You will open. Lord, we ask that You give us Childlike faith so that we may be humble and obedient to Your Word. In Jesus name Amen.
