Good afternoon, brothers
and sisters. I know the kids are all eager and excited to go trunk or treating
this afternoon. So I will try to make it
as short and sweet as I can.
I’m pretty sure all
parents would agree and can relate to this. That children, especially toddlers
are utterly free. They don’t worry about anything.
For example, my 2 year
old son, or even my daughter for that matter, when we go for a ride in
the van, they get in their car seats without asking "Where are we going, Daddy?"
They fall asleep in those car seats and wake up somewhere else and never wonder
what happen last night.
My son loves to climb
tables, chairs, and shelves like all typical boys do, he even loves to play in
the stairs heading down the basement. On a couple of occasion, while he was
playing on the stairs, he suddenly threw himself up in the air towards me
without warning, catching me off guard. Good thing I caught him, or else I
would have been in trouble.
So kids are utterly free,
they don’t worry about anything, that’s because they have a father and a mother
who love them, who look after them, even catch them if they jump. Even looking around the
children here right now all gear up with their favorite Halloween costumes,
they don’t care what people think of them.
Reflecting on these
instances, makes me realized that how I wish my faith to our heavenly Father is
like that of our children’s faith in us. As parents, our kids teach us how to
be holy by simply who they are and just by doing what they do every day.
So as we prepare to
worship this afternoon, I wish to invite everyone to ask for the grace to fully
trust and fully surrender to our Lord all our doubts, fears, and troubles. To have
a child-like faith.
MARK 10:15 “(For) Anyone
who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter
it.”
Let us pray.
Lord, we believe in you,
help our unbelief. Increase our faith and help us to have a faith like a child.
