Faith Of A Child

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Matthew 18:1-5

Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. —Matthew 18:3

One Sunday I heard Mike talk about his relationship with his two fathers—the one who raised him as a child, and his Father in heaven.

First he described his childhood trust toward his earthly father as “simple and uncomplicated.” He expected his dad to fix broken things and to give advice. He dreaded displeasing him, however, because he often forgot that his father’s love and forgiveness always followed.

Mike continued, “Some years ago I made a mess of things and hurt a lot of people. Because of my guilt, I ended a happy, simple relationship with my heavenly Father. I forgot that I could ask Him to fix what I had broken and seek His advice.”

Years passed. Eventually Mike became desperate for God, yet he wondered what to do. His pastor said simply, “Say you’re sorry to God, and mean it!”

Instead, Mike asked complicated questions, like: “How does this work?” and “What if . . .?”

Finally his pastor prayed, “Please, God, give Mike the faith of a child!” Mike later testified joyfully, “The Lord did!”

Mike found closeness with his heavenly Father. The key for him and for us is to practice the simple and uncomplicated faith of a child.

Have you noticed that the childlike faith
Of a little girl or boy
Has so often shown to older folks
How to know salvation’s joy? —Branon

Faith shines brightest in a childlike heart.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 16-17; Matthew 5:27-48

Loads of ice om all the trees!

[Lady Jag]

This is my least favorite at the moment.

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening to you Blogger, thanks for stopping in this evening!

We usually post food pictures, but in this case, I’m gonna pass, LOL! :o)

[martin_fierro]

Definitely lima beans and ...

... WALDORF SALAD *gag*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Kirkwood...are you home safe and sound? A good visit?

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening to you dljordan, thank you for stopping in this evening, and telling us your least favorite foods.

This is so fun to read!

[PinkChampagneonIce]

WOW! How much of a coincidence is it that the very first LEAST Favorite Food is BEETS! Beets taste like dirt, in a bad way. Trout can taste like dirt, too, but in a good way.

Second and third Least Favorite Foods - although they are actually drinks, so I don’t know that they count. First is any form of sherry - doesn’t matter if it’s the best or the worst. The second is buttermilk as a drink. Yuch.

Other than that, I’m pretty much open to experimentation. Fried shrimp heads give me the creeps, but I’ve eaten them (on a dare). Baby squid are actually pretty good. Sea slug, yes, I’ve had it (it had a fancier name on the menu). Eaten off the street-vendor carts in Tijuana (and Los Angeles) and am still alive.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am with you on waldorf salad.....*gag*

[laurenmarlowe]

Good evening saganite, it’s good to see you this evening!

My Mom force fed me vienna sausage too, definitely has that YUCK factor! :o)

(254) Jings, It's Dreich Ootside Thon Igloo

It's said that a language Is reflective of the culture in Which it exists. Like the decisive yet flowing Beauty of Italian, The heady rythmic sensuality Of Spanish, The casual aloofness tempered By romantic promise Of French. Then there's English, Thick with the assimilations, Forced or otherwise, Of a thousand others Who came before. There is no denying Its' power in the world. Or the eskimoes, With their gazillion words For snow. Scottish people have Just as many different words For rain And being drunk. (Just in case anyone's interested - fou, stoatin', steaming, miroculous, gubbered, battered, bevvied, reelin', stocious, jaiked, blootert and fleein' - all mean drunk in Scotland.) Anna Russell

Gotta be corned beef in sauerkraut.

[Netizen]

sauerkraut, raw oysters, eggplant, tofu, sashimi

[Libloather]

Peaches (because of the fuzz)

Peaches can be de-fuzzed, ya know.

[buccaneer81]

WALDORF SALAD *gag*

Ever see "Fawlty Towers?"

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

You can peel the skin off a peach, and voila! No more fuzz.

Peaches are one of my favorite things about summer. I just love a fresh peach, especially one so ripe I have to eat it over the sink.

[laurenmarlowe]

Howdy there Kirkwood, it’s so good to see you!

[Weatherman Bill]

Caviar! I think it should be on fear factor - little balls of concentrated salty exponential fishiness that pops in your mouth when you bite it.

[Randy Larsen]

I can’t even stand the smell of cooking Brussel Sprouts, let alone put one in my mouth!

Just YUK!

[Kirkwood]

Yes, I’m back. Travel went extremely well with the weather cooperating. My dad loves the HDTV I got him. I think he parked himself in front of it for 10 hours the first day. LOL!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Cooked cauliflower and brocolli...(sp)...Ickie.

Raw, with ThousandIslandDressing...The Best...

[buccaneer81]

Gotta be corned beef in sauerkraut.

Man, you'd have a hard time in Columbus and Cincy on New Years Day. They consider it good luck here to eat it.

[shekkian]

Peas

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LOL
Ya shouldn’t have to shave your food!
I have to peel them, I just can’t stand biting into that fuzz.
YARGH!
