As a Little Child

If we are willing to again become as children and cast ourselves on God without reservation, we shall receive His support. It is His Power that frees us from our false dependency on food. ~ L., Elisabeth. Food for Thought: Daily Meditations for Overeaters (Kindle Locations 3035-3036). Hazelden Publishing.

Jesus said “Truly I tell you,
unless you change
and become like little children,
you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly positionof this child is the greatest
in the kingdom of heaven."
What does it mean?
A little child is guileless...
without guilt, innocent,
lacking pretense.
Children and fools always tell the truth.
A little child is transparent,
has nothing to hide.
A little child is curious,
eager to learn.
A little child trusts,
believes the best of all.
A little child like everyone, loves all.
A little child trusts and says
whatever he thinks.
A little child follows,
knows someone more capable
is in control, and all is good.
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee...
