Let the little children come to Me; do not get in their way. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to children like these. Matthew 19:14
The laughter and giggles of children, it just does something to you. It’s like a breath of fresh air, it makes you want to at the very least, smile. You feel lighter and remember what it was like to be carefree and just about everything you saw was amazing.
Perhaps that’s why Jesus said we must be like them to belong to the Kingdom of heaven. Children are so trusting, nothing looks impossible and basically they have no fear. Oh how our Abba wants us to be like these children, trusting Him, resting in what He has accomplished for us at the cross. That nothing is impossible for Him and knowing He wants what’s best for you. You can go to Him for protection and advice and He always has your back. He knows everything, so you can feel secure in His care and you can enjoy life without limits.
Now you may be thinking you don’t have the time of energy to become child like again. You have a home, kids, a job and bills to pay. So when you need a break from being an over worked, overwhelmed, stressed out adult, just remember you will always be a child in His eyes and ever in His heart.
