September 27- Child-like Faith. Mark 10:13-16
In all of man's desires there is a thread that exists, that thread is: yearning to be desired. There is also that same thread that is: yearning to be a child. We want to have answers and we don't want to be left in the dark. When we were children we followed our father around and never questioned Him as a child. We just trusted and followed because he was our father. Now some earthly fathers may have led more into the darkness but we trusted them nonetheless.
I pray for those who have messed up relationships with their family and grew up in crappy situations. I am glad our heavenly father is not based out of our own thoughts, circumstances, emotions, and conceptions. I am thankful that He is never changing and He is the only one who fills those yearnings within.
When we walk with the Holy One, as a child and He as our father, we begin to not question Him, but trust Him. We trust that He is good, when we are children. We are then brought back to purity and walking by faith. We never think vast into the future or get sucked into our memories. We become like use to be from the beginning of the garden. Good.
I pray today I would hold His hand and walk into every moment with Him, not knowing what is going to happen but just trusting Him. Walking in the moment with a sense of peace and listen to Him and how He speaks to me and what He says about others. I pray I would listen to Him and my eyes would be open to what he is showing me. In the holy moments (which is every moment walking with the Father) and the divine encounters (which is every encounter with the Father and with others) I pray I would not think. I would just be. I would learn to unlearn the things of this world and the life that gets put upon me. I pray to become a child again. Not to focus on the future. My destiny is just to be with Him, holding his hand, in this world and through eternity. I am still alive therefore my destiny is still alive. That is my past, present, and future. He is my past, present, and future. There is no "Me" anymore. I trust Him.
I pray these things for you today as well. Enjoy Him!
