I’m a Child of God

Truly I tell you, anyone, who will not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it. — Mark 10:15

At the time of Jesus’ teaching ministry, children were often been pushed aside. So, Jesus’ words got the attention of his listeners when he invited children to come near. This wasn’t the first time his disciples had heard Jesus’ teaching on this and it wasn’t the last time they tried to prevent access to Jesus. But Jesus would have none of that. He drew close to people whom society tended to cast aside.

To enter into the kingdom of heaven, Jesus says, we must receive it with complete dependence and trust like a child. Children are at the mercy of their caregivers. They cannot protect themselves, defend them­selves, or provide for them­selves. They have to rely on and trust their caregivers for everything they need.

God wants us to see that we have the same kind of dependence on him for life and salvation. Trusting in him, relying on his power and mercy and grace, we can receive these wonderful gifts and enjoy full life forever.

PRAYER

Lord, thank you for giving me a name. Develop in me the confidence and consciousness to trust in you always. In Jesus’ name Amen.
