The Simplest Thing....

The Simplest Thing… Does a baby ask you why it must eat? Why must it sleep, breath or poo? No. Why? Cos they trust you 100% So why if a baby trusts you as their father or mother, do we question our Father In heaven? Do you ever find yourself reasoning with God when you’re praying? for example “God I will do your work and calling for my life, but can it not be here in this place, can I just move? I can't stand that lady! you know the one with the long winded voice who gets involved with everything at church." Its funny how many times we pray a pray of reasoning and wonder why we don't get an answer. Well the simple truth is right there in black and white in the Word. Jesus said to his disciples in Matt 18 “the doorway to the kingdom of heaven is through the heart of a child” Being born again we are to get rid of all the old and be refreshed and made new in Christ. It’s a softening, remolding, refining and strengthening process. When Jesus said “through the heart of a child.” He was referring to substance of a child’s heart. As you and I well know as time goes on its very easy to put guards up in our lives. Its very easy let our experiences corrupt the way we see things, read into situations and react to things. It is very easy to put a wall up around your heart, weather it is due to a string of bad relationships, a disrupted family life, insecurities and just all round pants life experiences. A child is moldable because they have no walls put up in their lives or round their hearts... "innocence". They are moldable because they have no reservations, fears or worries. They take what you say as truth cos they trust you. Like a child is pure in heart mind and soul, moldable and trusting. So should we be as new creations, babes in Christ. Born again in the spirit made clean by His blood, healed by His strips. We need to trust in Him and let penitence have her perfect work. The meaning of trust is “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of someone or something” Do you have a firm belief in God? Is He not reliable? Is He not all things that are truth? Does He not have all the strength to do all things? I don’t need to tell you what I think and feel on these things, I know where I stand. But you should ask yourself where you do… Friend its simple. God is not a nutta who wants to make things hard for you. His ways are simple. Make the decision to do it and don’t ask about it…. Trust…
