Do u want to be a kid again?

Mark 10:13-16
13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

*children are highly receptive and incapable of having produced good works to merit heaven. Jesus implies that to such, who are open to His teaching and do not depend on their own presumed goodness, belong the kingdom of God -kjv study note

Attributes of a child

A child does what his father says even if he doesn't understand why (luke 5:1-7)

A child runs to his father when he is scared and trusts that he will be safe as long as he is in his father's presence (jn 10:27-30) (ps 91:1-5)

A child believes whatever his father tells him (heb 11:6)

A child strives to be like his father and wants to please his father (john 14:15)

A child believes his father can do ANYTHING! (mark 10:27)

a child believes that he can do anything with his father's help (philippians 4:13)

A child wakes up every morning excited and full of joy (psalms 30:5) my kids can have the WORST night of sleep and wake up the next morning EXCITED just to be alive

Matthew 6:26-34
A child has NO worries

When a child flicks a light switch they KNOW the lights will come on (faith)

A child KNOWS that they will eat dinner every night (faith)

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 11:28-30
A child knows that their father knows the best and easiest way to get something done. So when a chold grows weary with a task he comes to his father seeking rest and guidance.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

how many are ready to be a kid again and just let their father handle all their problems? I am

Our nation

Why is it that America judges other nations as being poor and incapable of being self sufficient when our levels of poverty and crime are through the roof? We can't run our own country but we offer "help" to other nations. Our school system is failing yet we build schools overseas. Our judicial system is a joke yet we accuse other nations of being cruel to criminals. We print pieces of green paper and call it money when there is nothing backing it. America welcomes any religion but tries to silence Christians. This is just a small list of problems America has yet we try to "help" other countries with their problems. FIX AMERICA FIRST and then try to help others. Just a few thoughts
