Over joyed to be enjoying the election of grace.
If we have the heart of a little child and believe, we can have peace that passes the understanding of those adults around us. We truly have been extended unconditional grace.
Unconditional means just that. There is no conditions set forth by which my God won’t receive me, except blaspheming against the Holy Ghost.
If there are no conditions then why must I humble myself as a little child to enter into His peace?
In my view, grace (unmerited favor) is extended to all. Our God loves us so. Yet, peace of mind and heart is elusive due to the cares and concerns of this life stripping away at our belief.
As adults, we have many cares and we do take on way too much responsibility without casting our care daily upon Him. Day after day we cultivate the habits of trying to do this thing called life on our own. It gets harder and harder to enter into that prayer closet and leave it all on your altar. Hard but possible.
As adults we have many task masters. We have institutions, bosses, poor partners, and takers who try and place burdens upon us that are grievous and hard to bear. Yet, we try and expand ourselves daily to take on more and to please all just like hell enlarges it’s own borders daily. We create our own hell here on earth and cause hell for others.
As adults we look for complex solutions to simple and complex problems.
As an adult have you ever tried to solve a game problem and couldn’t solve it but watched an inexperienced child easily solve the problem? I have.
Often the complex problems we face could be more easily solved if we humbled ourselves as a little child and took it to the Father, in belief. There is nothing hard for the Father. Nothing. God lives in certainty of all things. God has all solutions.
It’s so easy for an uncorrupted child to have child like faith. For me, I’m working on having the wide eyed wonder of a child again. I desire to walk in the newness of life and approach every challenge with the heart of a child that knows that he is part of the family of God and has been extended favor that only a child receives from its Father.
Material riches won’t allow for peace. Only being rich in faith allows for true peace.
Father, I believe. Father help my unbelief.
