Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.
Mark 10:15 (NKJV)
My wife says that our daughter thinks I am Superman! The little one believes I can do anything in this world. As you may guess, it is hard living up to her high expectations, but I try not to disappoint her.
Take for instance her homework. She is studying under a very different curriculum from the one I went through but she has turned me into an encyclopedia of sorts. She also believes I know the Bible inside out.
Children of the Heavenly Father
Sometimes, (especially when I am tired), I find her unending questions irritating. However, I ask myself, how would I feel if she found me inadequate and turned to another person for answers?
I believe my relationship with my daughter somehow reflects the kind of relationship God wants to have with us, His children. He wants us to trust him 100%. Our Father is happy when we make Him the focal point of our lives.
Our Abba Father wants to listen as we narrate our joys and worries to Him. He is happy to know we are thankful for everything He gives us. Jehovah is overjoyed when we have childlike faith in Him.
Receive the Kingdom Of God as a Little Child
Did you know that a childlike attitude is a prerequisite for entering heaven? That is what Jesus says in Mark 10:15, “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
Do you trust God with the faith, simplicity and unquestioning attitude of a child? How different would your life be if you behaved like God’s little child?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, teach me to love, trust and obey You like Your little child, because that is who I am.
