| Childlike Faith: Matthew 19:14 |
📖 Scripture:
“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 19:14 (KJV)
Devotional Reflection:
Children run freely, laugh loudly, and trust easily. When Jesus welcomed the little ones, He wasn’t just blessing them — He was teaching us. The kingdom of heaven belongs to those who come with childlike faith: simple, joyful, and trusting.
We can complicate faith with doubts, pride, or busyness. But Jesus calls us to lay all that down and come as children — open hands, eager hearts. Faith that is childlike is faith that rests in the Father’s love.
Daily Wisdom Insight:
The greatest strength in faith is not sophistication but simplicity — the ability to trust God like a child trusts their parent.
Practical Application:
-
Take a few minutes today to pray simply, like a child — honest, direct, trusting.
-
Find joy in something small (a sunrise, laughter, song) and thank God for it.
-
Ask God to strip away cynicism and restore wonder in your walk with Him.
Prayer:
Father,
Teach me to come to You like a child —
with trust, with joy, with wonder.
Strip away the pride and fear that complicate my faith.
Give me eyes to see the beauty of Your kingdom,
and a heart eager to enter it.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
