The other Sunday I was talking to my friend while she was being a greeter at church. As we stand by the doors embracing the cold weather a family walked in. The family consisted of parents and one small child. The child was around four or five. This little boy was bundled up with a winter coat hood and gloves. His hood covered most of his face, all you saw as a little pink nose sticking out. One parent held his left hand and the other held his right hand. They were leading him through the building his eyes fixed on his feet because that was all he could see. This little boy was trusting his parents to get him from point A to point B without getting hurt.
What trust this little boys has. What trust most children have for their parents. What kind of faith and trust does God call us to have.
Matthew 18:1-4 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefor, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
I know I have trouble with this. There are to many things in this world that makes it hard to trust God. We are jaded, cynical, depressed, etc nation. But, remember this boy, or any child, how they wholeheartedly trust their parents.
Remember we have a Father in heaven, who will lead us from point A to point B, making sure we don't fall. We might stumble and trip but God is holding our hands, and he his there to keep us from falling down.
What a merciful and gracious God we have. You are Loved!!
Peace
