Faith Like a Child
Jesus called a little child to stand among them. “Truly I tell you, He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.…
(Matthew 8:2-4)
But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
(Matthew 19:4)
PRAISE REPORT! Faith Like a Child...
My Son is 61/2. For Resurrection Day this year I gave him his first piece of fine jewelry and first cross - a beautiful opal necklace. I didn't know how he'd react, but he loved it and has been proudly wearing it. I told him some kids at school might make fun of him because they don't believe in Jesus. Rather than feel concerned about it, he answered me, "But they DO have Jesus in their heart - because we all do - they just don't know it yet." I was so touched by this deep theological understanding of how we are all God's children - we just need to invite Him in. Never underestimate what a child can comprehend - especially when it comes to the Truth, that indeed, is already imbedded within them.
I praise God for my son's innocent yet profound faith in Jesus!
