childlike faith

there's so much to learn from children, i thank God for all the children He has put in my life, across my path at different points in time. when i look at them, their actions, they remind me of how God sees us

my nephew said today "i love you so much i want to follow You wherever you go.." (he was referring to us playing in the living room or going to another room to play..)
it reminds me of how we should follow Jesus
i love Jesus, and i want to follow Him wherever He leads

at a recent camp, a pre-school boy brought a smile to my heart each time he came to me and say with a smile that is lighted up from his heart :"hallo jie jie (sister) jessica. good morning jie jie jessica. bye bye jie jie jessica." he would sit beside me during lessons, flag together during worship, show me paper planes that he's made, and pictures that he's drawn. it brings such delight and joy to see his face lit up when i catch him unawares and spring him a surprise hello!

it reminds me of how we love God and love to come to Him all the time, and it pleases Him much when we seek Him all the time, and He'd endear His heart to us, when He sees how much we love being with Him, that we should be like little children calling out to Him: "Papa Papa look at me" and show Him everything that we do all the time, at any and every moment of our life. He loves every detail and loves spending tme with us, He has something to teach us at every moment if we would just focus our attention on Him and spend time to listen to Him.

Papa God please help me to be your rema kid always!

many people look to people for love and approval, and experience disappointment, hurt, pain, people are not perfect, and has limited time, energy, capacity to love, but God's love is limitless and perfect in every way, He is the only One that we need look to and learn from.

i pray that each and every child whom You love so dearly, Lord Jesus, will know and experience Your everlasting and perfect love deeply, that it becomes tangible and they will encounter You personally and hunger for you and follow You with all their heart, so that they will never thirst or be hungry and seek other substitutes for Your true and amazing deep love

Papa God thank You for Your peace that surpasses understanding, that i need not fret or worry even when things seem absurd and difficult, almost impossible to achieve, for coming to the rescue all the time, and letting me know that You hear my thoughts and You are the One who is in control, and that You love everyone and has the best in store for all of us

pl help me to love You more and more and seek You and hear You better and obey You promptly

love You Lord
