Faith like a Child

18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

² He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. ³ And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

Matthew 18:1-5

O: 

• Greatest in the kingdom of heaven is Children
• Because of their innocent and pure faith
• Adults have too many doubts and we rationalize rather than blindly follow Jesus
• Children had no rights in this society
• If we are to be like children as Jesus calls us, we must sacrifice our rights

A:

• Not sure exactly how I'll achieve childlike faith, but it has been a reoccurring theme that I've been reading in the last couple of days.
• Pray more and rely on God's province rather than taking matters into my own hand

P:

 Jesus help me to have a childlike faith. Help me to follow you without questioning where we're going or what will happen to me. I need to learn to surrender all that I have and really lay myself at your every command. As we learned in CG... Help me to serve the poor, and widowed. Help me to have the heart.

In Jesus Name
Amen
