Faith Of A Child

Unless you are converted and becomes as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 18:3


One Sunday I heard Mike talk about his relationship with his two fathers - the one who raised him as a child, and his Father in heaven.

First he described his childhood trust toward his earthly father as "simple and uncomplicated." He expected his dad to fix broken things and to give advice. He dreaded displeasing him, however, because he often forgot that his father's love and forgiveness always followed.

Mike continued, "Some years ago I made a mess of things and hurt a lot of people. Because of my guilt, I ended a happy, simple relationship with my heavenly Father. I forgot that I could ask Him to fix what I had broken and seek His advice."

Years passed. Eventually Mike became desperate for God, yet he wondered what to do. His pastor said simply, "Say you're sorry to God, and mean it!"

Instead, Mike asked complicated questions, like: "How does this work?" and "What if...?"

Finally his pastor prayed, "Please, God, give Mike the faith of a child!" Mike later testified joyfully, "The Lord did!"

Mike found closeness wiht his heavenly Father. The key for him and for us is to practice the simple and uncomplicated faith of a child. - Joanie Yoder


Have you noticed that the childlike faith
Of a little girl or boy
Has so often shown to older folks
How to know salvations's joy? - Branon

Faith shines brightest in a childlike heart.

My mum always saying me that I am too simple minded... and I will think it over again and again... what's wrong with that?

I try to makes myself not to be that... but, are there anyone can teach me how?

Anyway, I don't care for that anymore... I got to know that Father Lord prefer someone with children minded... simple and no harm... :) hehe.... I had qualify... :P

A simple minded will makes you look at the nice thing for everthing happen around you... no matter how worse it is for others... for you, it must be at least one thing is good...

I am someone like that... and although I know when I step into the society sooner or later, I will face some trouble... but why am I thinking of it?... God will take care of me... just because I am His daughter... the one and only one Sapphire... :P
