Childlike Faith
Very I say unto you, Whosover shall not recieve the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Mark 10:15
One of the many wonderful things about children are their innocence. Their simplicity and innocuousness is to be envied. They readily forgive, not harboring grudges. They are trusting of others ans are willing to accept and believe what others tell them. That is why we must become like children to recieve Jesus Christ. We must come believing that He is the son of God who takes away our sins. We must have childlike faith.
Your child is out playing and all of a sudden
you hear crying, she comes running into you with her elbow
bleeding.
She has fallen down, you quickly go to her..its
not bad just a little scrape, but to her its a major cut..She's
screaming
you take her in your arms,and sooth the pain
away..she asks you to kiss her boo boo.You kiss the
scrape, and off she's running back outside..All
it took was your kiss...she knows that you are there and you
can make everything better, after all that's
what Daddy's are for.
The other night our daughter Chloe was
sick..now in our family when a member gets sick we immediately
pray for them.
She was running a temperature of 101
degrees..and complaining of a headache and sore throat.
Now Chloe is five so when she's not feeling
well. she can be a little grumpy..We got the Tylenol out and she
started screaming.
She is not one for taking medicines..(but then
is any five year old) so we have to hold her down giving it to
her.
Now Sarah who is seven going on about fifteen
was instructing me how to do it..Finally got the Tylenol down and
then we
prayed over Chloe. We just joined around her
and laid hands on her..When I was done praying I told Chloe
"now you know what to do Chloe, tell Jesus
thank-you for healing you.." well, she laid there for a
minute in bed, and
looked up at me and said " Mommy, I can't
tell Him thank-you" I asked her why and she said
because " Mommy I'm
not healed yet my head still hurts." Well
Sarah immediately shouted " Chloe be quite the devil will
hear you say that and
that's what he wants you to think that Jesus is
not healing you, just say it so Jesus and the devil can hear
you."
Now being the Mommy , my heart melted...such
wonderful faith.. After all Sarah knows all she has to do is ask
her Daddy for
help. Just like she knows that all she has to
do is ask Jesus for help..She is told that Jesus loves her and
will take care of her in
any problem she faces. So she believes in her
heart that He will. Such Childlike Faith...
I will forever hold this precious moment in my
heart...Jesus must be looking down and smiling, after all He is
their Daddy..and
all Daddy's love their little girls..
...How gracious he will be |
