Matthew: 18. 3.
“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. “

Become as little children:

Have you become as a little child since you’ve been converted?  

When Jesus taught us how to pray, He started by telling us to  call on Our Father.  I don’t know about you but my human father was quite a man.  He could yell and swear with best of them.

He wore a ball style cap at his,  Fix-it Shop,  garage, when he worked on cars to keep grease, oil and dirt out of his hair.

Happy, the brim was in front. As he got aggravated the brim moved to the side…. (maybe by itself, never saw him move it).

It seems like it was pointed sideways quite alot when dealing with me. 

Here’s the point;   He may have chewed me out, been disappointed  and I suffered the consequences of my actions; ….. but he kept me in line because he loved me.

He never denied me something I needed, sometimes, things I wanted but never a need.

I haven’t thought of that for years, the steadfast love of my father…..even at my most unlovable.
I was reminded of  that love a few weeks ago.   My college aged daughter had questions about her rental insurance for her apartment at school. 

She called and asked for my help

I couldn’t fix it fast enough. ….the joy of providing this little thing for her….that she needed me.

Yeah, I  guess I ‘m putty…….but I  think God enjoys doing the little things for those He loves also.

We need to rely on, call on,  trust in and believe that God is and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

If they have loving parents, a child doesn’t study to be a son or daughter, they don’t need lessons on how to love. 

Any problems are in the will.  A strong willed child does things his own way, to spite the best advice or direction given.

I believe this to be the reason so many who love the Lord and long to see the Kingdom of God at hand,…. don’t. 

There are few signs and wonders, miracles because we accept Him as Savior and never really submit to Him as Lord.

To be  Disciples;   that is what we are called to be.  We are instead believers.   We believe but don’t obey.  Jesus said something about that.  Didn’t He?

Lord, help us to become Disciples please. ….mold and make us into vessels You use for Your Glory, Praise and Purpose.
