We believe, as children, wholeheartedly because we don't know any better. Our trust is a mile high ... we are getting our needs met, and we trust!!!

Disappointment is one of the true spoilers of life; it makes us bitter and disillusioned, and it mars the view that we should have for living! That is why it says believe in the kingdom of God, we should believe as children; we need to be wholehearted in our belief! Just like a 6 month old knowing it's going to be fed ... a 1 year old knowing it's going to stay safe.

When we allow our disapointment/injustices mar our view, we let our child-like belief dissipate! We become hurtful because we are hurt. We stop believing that everything is going to be all right because we have a loving Father.

Remember, He sends His angels to watch over you ... He loves us all, and our child-like nature is what we are going to rely on! The faith demanded by our Father is for us to trust Him, not ourselves. Am I trusting in Him or myself ... what a tough question if I am guarding against my disillusions and pain. Truth is what He wants, as well as our child-like faith.
