CHILDLIKE FAITH
In this powerful exploration of Luke 18:15-17, we're challenged to embrace a childlike faith in our relationship with God. The central message revolves around Jesus welcoming children, despite His disciples' attempts to keep them away. This seemingly simple interaction unveils profound truths about the nature of faith and our approach to God's kingdom. We're reminded that true faith isn't about our accomplishments or religious knowledge, but rather about trust, dependency, and wonder - qualities that children naturally possess. As we reflect on this, we're invited to examine our own faith. Have we lost the simple trust and awe that children have? Are we trying to earn our way into God's kingdom through our own efforts? This message encourages us to strip away our pride, empty our pockets of self-reliance, and approach God with the humility and openness of a child. It's a call to rediscover the joy, trust, and dependency that should characterize our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
