Magical Faith

The Face of Pure Faith. My grand daughter, Nonnie, at 18 months of age, in 2005.

Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

Ephesians 5:1 “Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children”. (WEB)

Childhood is so magical, isn’t it? As little ones, we truly believed in the impossible! We lived on the words of the adults in our lives as the ultimate truth, never questioning what they said.  But as we grew into adults, we became jaded, hurt, calloused by the world.  Our child-like faith faded into almost nonexistence. But Jesus says we need to become like children in our Faith Walk, believing Him for the miracles and promises he has declared.  When we accomplish this, our Faith Walk is bound to become as magical as our childhood was! We can truly believe His words, never having to question Him or His intentions. As our Magical Faith Walk matures, we can imitate God’s love and compassion for other people, touching them with the Magic of Believing, too!

Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank You for the Magic of Believing in Your Words.  Thank You for guiding us to take on the child like faith in You and in our lives that we once had, believing what You say is the ultimate truth. Help us imitate You in our lives, bringing others to Believe in You as we have.  Bring people into our lives this week who need to hear Your words come out of our mouths, who need hugs from You that come from us, who need Your love that flows through us.  In Jesus’ Precious Name I pray, Amen.
