Let's all be little children

I was on my way to church one day in the train and I saw a daddy with his 3 young kids (2 boys and 1 girl) in tow. I was actually expecting them to be talking loudly, asking lots of questions, fidgeting and all. Surprisingly, these 3 kids are super well-behaved and did not made a big din.

That set me thinking somehow.....little children rejoice at the little things, they trust easily, they love to the deepest and they laugh from the heart. When they are not happy for any reason with a friend for example, they will forget those unhappy stuffs quickly and soon they are friends with their “so-called enemies” again. They are not aware of themselves and self-pity has not kicked in yet in their minds. They simply talk with their parents about the issue and few seconds later the whole issue is forgotten.

Jesus said in the bible that we are to come to Him as little children. Not that we have to literally become little children, but rather, we are to approach His throne in confidence based on Jesus' blood. We open up to Him; we smile in His presence, we pour out all the stored things before Him and we ask Him to renew the attitude of little children in us.

Our past is in His Hands; leave it.
Our present is under His supervision; live it to the fullness in Jesus Christ.
Our future is secured in Jesus' blood; do not worry about it.
