REVELATION TO CHILDREN!

We all know that little children are very sensitive when it comes to people who are kind and loving. They sense that and are drawn to such people. They trust them and listen to them when they are given instructions. I personally, am not always able to relate well with kids, but, there are really special people out there who work in day care centers and teach in the primary grades, whom I admire. But more to be admired are those that dedicate their lives to children with special needs, like the physically challenged. Children trust adults. So from a childlike perspective, our relationship with God should be based on trust and not to put him to the test! In the gospel Jesus says that all things have been entrusted to him by the Father.

This is because he trusted his Father without reserve. If we had parents who were honest, trustworthy and affectionate, it will be much easier for us to trust our heavenly Father. Today in the gospel we are reminded that we should not forget what it means to be a child. No matter how wise and learned we are, we can be very foolish. Wisdom and knowledge isn’t worth anything if we don’t have a childlike trust in God and follow God with our whole hearts like children who trust good parents. No matter how wise and learned we become, we can’t outgrow God. God is always wiser, more powerful, and more faithful! Let us pray that we will take seriously our responsibilities to be wise and learned adults that others can trust, and also encourage each other to be childlike in our trust of an all wise, all powerful, all faithful God.

Prayer: Lord, just like a child, May I trust my Heavenly Father. Amen.
