Despite the Sonny and Cher 60’s song…
Love does pay the rent!
When we put our total trust in God to provide for our basic needs we are expecting His love to pay our rent.
Children don’t worry about the rent. In fact, rent isn’t on their radar. They have blind faith that their needs will be taken care of, because they trust their parent’s love for them.
As adults it’s difficult for us to put ourselves back in that innocent trusting mindset because we have been hurt so much by life experiences.
If we can listen to Jesus’ teaching and become as a little child life can be so much better.
It’s not easy but it is possible. We must remember, God never asks us to do something He hasn’t already equipped us to do.
This is the truth: unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. In that kingdom, the most humble who are most like this child are the greatest. ~ Matthew 18:3-4 (Voice)
How can I be more childlike?
- Be more play-full and wonder-full.
- Sit in the grass and look at the flowers.
- Discover something new today.
Be alive, awake, aware, in awe of God’s creations around you!
