The Trusting Hearts Of Little Children

How precious are the trusting hearts of little children, and how much we can learn from their innocent example, of the need to develop a total trust in God, and show pure delight in the Lord Jesus Christ, this blesses the heart of God and honors His holy name. 
 Today, Christ's arms of welcome are wide open to whosoever will, but all too often, adult pride and developed falsity keep us far from His tender embrace. But it is those with poverty of spirit, humility of heart, and a childlike faith in them, that can approach His throne of grace, with a simplicity that is so precious to our Lord.
 Let us in the power of His Holy Spirit, seek to develop that childlike disposition that is birthed from simple trust in His faithful Word, both here on earth and in His eternal kingdom, the life that reflects the Lord Jesus is the child of God that gives glory to the Father.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, how we long to be more child-like in our attitudes, with the sort of faith that trusts You like a child, and whose hearts are ever open towards You. Teach us, Lord, to live in purity of heart and gentleness of spirit, so that Jesus may be reflected through us, to those with whom we come in contact today. This we ask in His name and for His glory, AMEN.
