JUST AS WE
ARE
“And
Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 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. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as
this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.”
Matthew
18:2-4 (King James
Version)
Sometimes we try to
impress our neighbors and our friends with our big homes, our expensive cars and
our job titles but these things don’t impress God. What touches the heart of God is the
condition of our heart. We can’t buy our
salvation. It is only through the
redeeming blood of Jesus that we are
saved.
We are not worthy
to enter into the presence of God but through the blood of Jesus we can come
boldly into His presence. Our job titles
don’t impress God. It doesn’t matter if
we are pastors, missionaries, writers, choir directors, Sunday school teachers
or evangelists. To Him, we are just His
little children.
Just as He wants us
to come to Him as little children when we accept Jesus as our personal Saviour,
so He wants us to come to Him as little children going to their parents. It is important to tell God that we love Him
and need Him. We want Him to tell us
that He loves us. We should also tell
Him that we love Him.
Heavenly Father, we
do love You. We praise You and thank You
for being a compassionate, loving, forgiving and merciful Father. Help us to come to You as little children
instead of trying to impress You. We are
helpless without You, dear Father. We
need You every minute of every day.
Amen.
