” Take my words to heart. Follow my commands, and you will live.” Proverbs 4:4
” I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Mark 10:15
A child will do and think things in very simple ways. For the most part a child will not overthink things. A child goes to his/her parents with adoration, excitement, dependency and trust. They will approach their mom and dad with belief that they will be protected and that no matter what the situation they will never be failed. They trust that their parents will always be there for them when they are down or have done something wrong and will be there to celebrate with them when they are having a great day. Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like children. When presented with a gift a child will generally accept it gratefully and unselfishly. Jesus wants us to accept his free gift just as a child. We are to go before him humbly with no illusions that we belong there. We must trust him and believe that the life and death he experienced and gave on that cross was for you and me and is a free gift. All we have to do is believe and trust in him. All we have to do is accept it and act upon it with adoration, excitement, dependency and trust. We are to take his mighty words to heart and do as he instructs us to do. We cannot overthink what our Lord has done or will do. We may not always understand but we should always believe and trust him. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
