Truth from a Child

Have you ever noticed that some of the most valuable lessons we have learned in life have been from a child?
The words spoken by Kaden are still ringing in my ears, "Mommy, don't worry about _________" (You can fill in your own specific person or thing).
So I thought to myself, he's right. Why do I worry about these things when God has already told me, "Look at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in the barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are." Matt 6:26

Instead, I need to quiet myself before Him and allow his voice to penetrate my mind and heart. He is all around, in everything we see.

"So give your attention to the created order. Look at the trees, really look at them. Take a flower and allow it's beauty to sink deep into your mind and heart. Listen to the birds-they are the messengers of God. Watch the little creatures that creep upon the earth. These are humble acts, to be sure, but sometimes God reaches us profoundly in these simple ways if we quiet ourselves to listen." Celebration of Discipline" Richard Foster

Isn't it time that we begin to let go of the hold that others and things have on us, and begin to just rest in what God promises.

What a precious and timely lesson taught by a two year old.
