YOU WILL ENJOY LIFE IF YOU BECOME LIKE A CHILD
The Lord Jesus says that we need to become like children in order to access the benefits in the Kingdom of Heaven such as peace, joy, happiness, and miracles. So, what does it mean to be like a child?
1. A child easily believes what their parents tell them.
We need to have simple faith and just simply believe in the Word of God. If the Bible says that when you pray for the sick they will be healed, then believe in miracles and pray for the sick.
2. A child is innocent and able to trust.
We need to have faith in people. We cannot live mistrusting all of those who surround us, fearing that at any moment someone can hurt us. For example, you need to trust your spouse as if they were your best friend.
3. A child easily forgives.
If you were to scold your son in the morning, he’d probably forget about it after five minutes and maybe even tell you, “I love you”. This also happens in your marriage, right?
4. A child enjoys their life.
A child still has the wonderful ability to appreciate colors, smells, the sound of birds chirping, and the shapes clouds make.
They do not worry about the temporary problems like money, politics, or sports. Children are not full of anxiety, worrying about there being enough food in the refrigerator next week. They know that mom and dad will make sure they have a roof over their heads, a bed to sleep on, and clothes.
A child does not stress like adults do. Their clothes might get dirty because of mud and soda, but they’re able to laugh about it, and then play with the dog or the cat. They go into deep sleep every night and wake up with a smile. Therefore, we need to become like children when it comes to our faith and our attitude towards life in order to fulfill God’s will.
