Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will
never enter it. (Mark 10:15
NRSV)
Our homes are often divided by childishness. You've all seen those tags hanging in automobile
windows, "Child on board." I saw one awhile back which said: "Childish adult at the wheel." One
of the places where all of us become a bit childish is when we're driving down the road and some
idiot cuts in front of us. Childishness on the street, in the home, in the workplace, even in the
Church! However, we are not called by Jesus to be childish, but child-like.
Ronald Newhouse, Texas, USA
Unfortunately, we see childishness at work in the world wherever we turn. On a world level, we
see nations unwilling to play the game of peace. On a national level we find too many politicians
who put the good of their own party or their own personal friends above the good of the country
as a whole.
Prayer: Dear God, help me to have a child-like faith. Amen.
