Mark 10:14
“Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

Still remember being a child?
Ahhh, those were the days. When all we can think about is playing, sleeping, eating and being naughty. When nothing much is really expected from us, that is, aside from studying well, which we would also often fail to do. When our parents would really take care of us and really make us feel important – for we are their jewel, the apple of their eyes.
And when we would really be dependent on them for our needs, fully knowing that their love can help us through tough times and bad times.
And would you believe, though we are all grown ups, in the eyes of God, we are still His little children, worthy of His affection and love?
But this doesn’t mean that we have to act or think like a childish person. A childlike person is playful, open minded and unrestrained by the inner voice of reason, collective cynicism, or fear of failure. We should see good in everything we see, hear and experience. God doesn’t want us to understand everything but He wants us to trust in Him as we live our life, totally oblivious of what will happen tomorrow.
And so let us remain being a child…
Fully dependent to our Father for all our needs. Childlike at heart and possesses those wondrous qualities like unconditional love, trust, playfulness and simplicity. And willing to share to others that feeling of pure happiness, pure contentment and pure joy.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, we ask You to bless us, keep us in Your love. Lord, give us hearts that are open, hearts that are humble and gentle. And through the hands of your little ones, we ask you to bless us. Amen +
The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.
