15. One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him.
16. Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
17. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." Luke 18:15-17 NLT

2. Coming as a child

3. In the Kingdom of God we are children. We are His children.

What do I see in these words?
What do they mean?
How do they meet me where I am?

4. May I pray?
Abba,
I'm here as your child.
Let me understand what that means
Let us glorify You in the understanding of these words that Your Son spoke.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank YOU.
AMEN

I'm:
Constantly asking Him questions.
Stubborn
Temperamental
Whiney
Sidetracked
Demanding
... with all this going on, I'm still aware that I'm trying to allow Him to grow me up. I want maturity and not sniveling snotty nosed childlike behavior.
And yet he says if we don't come as children we can't come. So I lay all my baby steps at His feet and worship Him for loving me through, the 2yr old fits, the adolescent insecurities, and the bravado young teens.
And all of these fly daily though my emotions and actions.
Oh I'm a handful.
And yet He loves me still.
My candy sticky fingers are cleaned and snotty nose wiped by His nail scared hands.
Oh how I love Him

I must trust with the trust of a child. Trust in the love of God, trust in His guidance, trust in his timing. Trust in God with loving abandon. Trust that he is always with me. Trust. Amen
