Faith like a Child

I love children, always have. I'm not sure why exactly, but I know it's from God. Sometimes I get along with kids better than I do adults. I love their curiosity, their innocence, their excitement over the little things, and their deep love. Love without hesitating (in most cases). It makes sense to me that Jesus compares our faith to the faith of a child in Mark.

:: and they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter at all." And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands upon them. :: Mark 10: 13-16

This morning I have been enjoying listening to worship music made for kids (Praise Baby Worship and Seeds Family Worship). I'd encourage you to look them up because I honestly love it! I know it's meant for kids, but the words are the same for the babies as they are for you and me. Jesus is the same, and He will always be the same. He will never leave or forsake us, and that is something to take to heart. I tend to over think and over analyze things, but sometimes it is good to just stop and breathe. Take a break and see Jesus as the kind, gentle, loving Savior who took time to bless and hold the children. He HELD them! He took them in His arms! And He does the same for me and for you. Find your inner child today, and see Jesus as the one who gives the greatest hugs imaginable!
