Even as a child: 2

Matthew 18:2-4 "and Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, verily I say unto you except you be converted, and become as little children, ya shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Have you ever just watched a toddler as she played? She will play contentedly as long as She knows her parent is nearby. A baby knows that she can do nothing without their help. She also depends on them for protection. It is the most precious display of trust, need, and humility. Not to mention carefree. As a mother, I never want that to go away. Our heavenly Father feels the same way about His children. God wants us to come to Him in complete humility. He then wants us to continue to "cast all Our care on Him" in Faith and love. I know what my daughter needs without Her being able to tell me. So does God know the needs of his children. If we trust Him, He will provide. Such simplicity. If you have accepted Christ as your Savior you were born again as His child. All you need to do now is trust in His ability as your Father. Simply enjoy being in His care. Get excited about learning new things and performing them for Him. He gets excited to see us grow too. Just think how you feel when your children, nephew, niece, or grandchild takes his first step. Then, think how you would feel if he then stopped growing, or worse, never did take any steps. Our father is cheering us on and wanting to teach us more. How wonderful! "It's wonderful to be a christian. It's wonderful to be God's child"
