"Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.""
(Mark 10:15 (NIV))


What did you worry about when you were a little child?

If you are like me, the answer is simple.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

You never doubted anything. You trusted what your parents told you. You believed because you still possessed the power of innocence.

The sinful, fallen world had not corrupted your mind to the point where you only see sin. You had no reason to fear because you had not been exposed to sin and hatred. You had no reason to worry because all of your needs were met. I realize that this is not always true, and if it was not for you, I am sorry that you were exposed to the cruelties of this world far too soon.

Even so, we are to approach our faith with the same innocence, with the same trust, and with the same lack of fear.

What is your faith like?
