Child-like Faith

It's 2:10 in the morning, and here I sit, not really tired, but totally stoked for my 8:40 class! (she says sarcastically). Anyway... This may come across as unintelligible due to the late hour, but onward I march.

Lately, I've been extremely challenged in my faith and what it ought to look like. In talking with friends recently, I got to thinking about how so often, myself included, in the pursuit of Christ and the paradox of all that He is, often times we lose ourselves even more. I am not saying that we shouldn't engage together in conversation about the Lord and seek to understand Him more (after all, where two or more are gathered, there He is also). What I'm getting at is that maybe there are some questions that we ought waste time worrying about. Even harder still, what if there is an answer, but we've lost touch with who we are; God's children, and therefore are not accepting of the answer? I believe that more often than we realize, the answer is simply this: Because God says so.

We are children of God, and yet we are caught in this mess of theory, philosophy and thought. And in the process of trying to figure out the Almighty, our limited human understanding cripples our ability to experience Him to the fullest. Is it any wonder, then, why we are called to have the faith of a child?

A good point that a friend of mine made was bringing up the classic children's tune...

Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me....

The Bible tells me so.

That's it. The Bible tells us so. Dare we trust God enough to let that be enough? It's enough for children. And we are children of the Living God.

Thanks!
