Child like faith


Matthew 18:3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Every time I see this picture I think about the faith of a little child and that how our Lord often encouraged us to have that child like faith. As a father to two little girls, I see how they look to me as their father and simply believe that I can take care of them, help them, love them, provide them, and guide them. Such a great lesson for all of us to learn - simply look to our Heavenly Father and know He can take care, help, love, provide, and guide us. 

Increase my faith!

Persevere

Ever think you've had a rough day? How about a rough life.... As the Bible tells us, We can do all things through Christ which strengthen us. So many have memorized and quoted Philippians 4:13 but not very many of us actually apply it. Check out this short video and think about the perseverance this man has had over his lifespan. We can sometimes have such narrow focus feeling like our "problems" are too weighty and unfair that we end up in neutral and doing almost nothing. Perseverance overcomes mountains and brings victory... step by step. Trust Christ and allow Him to be your strength and perseverance!.
