Like a Child

It doesn’t matter how old I get.

The sight of a merry go round instantly brings me back to my childhood.

From choosing my horse to listening to the organ music,
I am magically turned back into a little girl.

Even though there was no real destination on the carousel, the journey on that ride felt like you were in another world.

Maybe it was the childlike wonder of it all.

There is a destination that requires that same childlike thinking.

Heaven.

God tells us in His word that whoever humbles himself to become like a child will enter His gates.

That doesn’t mean we have to become children again, but become like a child.

Teachable.

Humble.

Full of awe and wonder.

As adults, it’s easy to believe we know what’s best.

That we know better than God.

As we grow into adults, we change our way of thinking.

It’s easy to drift from that childlike faith.

But no matter how old we get, our Heavenly Father reminds us we are all children.

His children.

My prayer for you today is that you see Him with the awe and wonder of a child.

“Jesus called a little one to his side and said to them, “Learn this well: Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable like a little child, you will never be able to enter in. Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest one in heaven’s kingdom realm.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭TPT
