Writer's block is no joke. When we turned our internet back on after our little hiatus , I was so very excited to FINALLY get back on my blog and type about everything God was and is doing in my life. I'd sit down, have my cup of tea next to me and go, " OK, I'm ready." ... ... ... Nothing ... ... ... No, nothing is the wrong word. There was too much. SO much to just start typing. I had no where to start and didn't know how to decipher what I should put down. Being overwhelmed by an awesome God :)
I decided that whatever God wanted me to truly write would eventually pop up and I would go with it. So I've been waiting, thinking of things on my own. Nothing sounded worth the effort to type up. " The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplished nothing." John 6: 63
Until tonight. A subject that I so readily talk about because it's so vital. So pure and unblemished. Because it comes from the mouth of innocence. " Faith Like A Child."

This is my motivation. This is my muse. This is what tugs at me. I have a beautiful , defiant, energetic, trying to figure out his place right now four year old. Who pulls at my patience every day. This little boy, excuse me, " BIG" boy, speaks what comes to his mind. Speaks what is on his heart. Some of the greatest conversations I have, are with him. At dinner, discussing people who do not know the Lord, who hate God. How we need to pray for those lost people. Astounding! At least this astounds me. You see this child, has an awe and love and wonder for the Lord. His faith feeds my spirit. Before bed tonight, my Logan carried on this conversation with me.
"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12
"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12
In Matthew 19 verses 13-15 discusses this very phenomena. I am paraphrasing here but the parent's of the children wanted Jesus to lay hands on them and pray for them. The disciples didn't like that idea and scolded. Only to be reprimanded by our Savior and say , "
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 14 NKJV
" Of such is the kingdom of heaven." NLT states it like this ,
" But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
Heaven belongs to those who are like children. Matthew 18: 2-3 states that " Unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven."
Obviously, this subject holds some massive wisdom and weight in the Bible. As adults, we unfortunately lose that Awe. That simple, I believe without another thought attitude. Doubt enters in. I think it's time we look at our children, so adoring of our Savior and learn to be child like.
Father, How I have doubted, forgive my doubts. Forgive my adultness. Father transform my heart to that of a child. So in love and reverent of you Lord. Of your glory and majesty. I love you Lord. Thank you for transforming me so far, and continuing to hold me up as you work mightly in me!
Amen
