Like A Child

Mark 10:15

"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all." Jesus' words.

How does a child receive a truth? Children are known to be very naive and vulnerable to believing whole whatever it is they're taught. They will accept unquestioningly whatever someone they look up to and trust tells them, even if it is to tear them down. How much better to teach them Truth and how much God values them.

We need to look up to Jesus and trust God implicitly, like a child. We know that He will always tell us the Truth, and love us unconditionally. When we open our will to simply accept and believe His Word, even if we can't figure out how it can be so and be good, then sometimes God will show us how it all fits together. He is God, and we are not. We still believe Him.

Sometimes the World will happen upon some of God's principles, and they will work, because that's how God designed this World to function. How much better to glean from His Word the whole Truth; in loving God and one another, we will know what to do for their best, our benefit, and God's glory.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
