Childlike Trust

         A few weeks ago I was talking to my 6 year old daughter about taking the school bus.  I was telling her to make sure somebody was there to pick her up so she wouldn't be alone. She said to me "But daddy we are never alone God is with us"
     I was stunned! This little child had so much trust in God that she was not even scared to be alone.
     As I thought about what she said I realized this is what Jesus meant when he said "Assuredly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." (Mark 10:15)
     Kids are so trusting by nature. Kids depend on their parents for everything food, shelter,safety and as parents we watch over our children to make sure they are safe and taken care of. Kids have a way of trusting that their parents will do what is best for them.
     We should make our trust in the Lord this simple. A child doesn't understand why they need to hold hands when they cross the street or why we wouldn't want to leave them alone at the bus stop and sometimes we don't understand why God is or isn't doing something in our lives but we need to trust and know that God is looking out for our best interest's and know that we are never alone God is with us.
