Child-like Faith

I love the little reminders that God gives us throughout our lives through the simplest things.

I was sitting on the tram today watching this little girl with her grandparents (who absolutely adored her, of course). This little girl was sitting on her grandmother's lap looking out of the window with so much amusement and awe. It was like she was discovering the world for the first time. She couldn't really talk, so she was squealing with delight at every new sight that came into view.

It reminded me how Jesus called us to have the faith of a child. To sit there in awe of his creation and of Him. That child had no cares in the world other than what was happening right at that moment and she was relishing in the love of her grandparents. She had no worries about what tomorrow holds or even if she was going to be safe. She completely and utterly trusted nanny and papa to protect her.

I pray for that sort of faith. That I would have no cares or concerns and that I would just be able to sit in awe and complete trust every single day.

PS: My dad comes in less than 2 weeks!!!
