Surprise lesson I learnt from little Children. By Judith Dandison
Woke up this morning to a flash of light from the open bedroom window. As I was trying to fathom where the light came from, I heard a blasting thunder. That was when I knew there was a thunder storm. Just immediately, another lightning flashed through followed by another blast. My two daughters jumped up immediately. They both shouted mummy same time. I answered 'yes' in a calming voice knowing they were awakened and scarred by the thunder blast. On hearing my voice, the 2 years old smuggled very close to my body and slept back immediately while the 5 years old held my hand and slept off. There followed several other louder thunder blast and flashes of lightning but they just slept peaceful without any care because they were sure their mom was close and for that all dangers were averted. Such trust and confidence, no questions as to whether their mother can actually avert all or any dangers. They were very confident they were safe just by my presence.
This made me understand the bible teaching that says, "unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven". You have to trust on the words and power of God without any care or cynicism. No wonder Jesus said, "if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
I have learned that the Lord has my back in all situations. No doubts, no questions, just faith.
