Devotional: Embrace Childlike Faith – Rediscover Joy!
Do you remember the innocence and wonder of childhood? How easily we were able to trust, believe, and find joy in the simplest of things. As we grow older, the cares of this world can weigh us down, and we may lose that childlike faith that once filled our hearts with boundless joy.
But the Bible reminds us of the importance of having a childlike faith. In Matthew 18:3, Jesus tells us, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
As we embrace childlike faith, we can rediscover the joy that comes from trusting in God wholeheartedly. Here are a few ways to cultivate childlike faith and experience the joy it brings:
– Trust without reservation: Just as a child trusts their parents completely, we should trust in God’s plan for our lives with unwavering faith.
– Find joy in the little things: Children find joy in the simple pleasures of life, like a beautiful sunset or a playful game. Let us also take delight in God’s creation and the blessings He bestows on us each day.
– Approach God with humility: Children approach the world with humility and openness. Let us come before God with a humble heart, ready to receive His love and guidance.
– Seek wonder and awe: Children are filled with wonder and awe at the world around them. Let us approach our faith with a sense of wonder, marveling at the mysteries of God’s love and grace.
Let us pray for the grace to embrace childlike faith and rediscover the joy that comes from trusting in God like a little child. May we approach our faith with humility, simplicity, and a sense of wonder, knowing that God delights in our childlike trust and fills our hearts with His eternal joy.
What are some ways you can cultivate childlike faith in your own life? How can you find joy in trusting God like a little child?
Let us take a moment to reflect on these questions and ask God to help us embrace childlike faith in our journey of faith.
In conclusion, may we always remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Let us approach God with the faith and joy of a child, and experience the abundant blessings He has in store for us.
