We conclude on this aspect of the series. _Be like a little child,Don't be like a little child._(Infants,Babies)
The part 1&2 looked at many reasons why _'To be like or Not To be like a little child._
We continue from there:
*Be Like a Little Child* In Matt. 11:25-26- _I praise you Father...because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned,and revealed them to *little children.*_
And in Matt.21:16-17- ....Jesus replied saying- _From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise._
Little ones right from our tradition have been said to *see things*. I guess these verses affirms or to put it right,it was revealed to them from above.
I don't doubt it because of once again the state of their heart-How delicate,pure,innocent,receptive they are. They are known to say the TRUTH¬hing else.(Of course before they are *practically* soiled with the sins of this world.)
And such a heart is what God seeks for.When Jesus spoke there,it wasn't just literally to the little ones. That if today you&i will have such a childlike heart,
these hidden vital mysteries shall be revealed unto us.
Remember,one of the things we need in this Life is *Revelation* &this is what it takes to.With such a life,our mouths will always be full of PRAISE. *Be Like a Little Child*
*Don't be Like a Little Child.*
In Hebrews 5:13-14
_Anyone who lives on milk,being still an infant,is not acquainted with teaching about righteousness...But Solid food is for mature,who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil._
I concentrate on Maturity.Our God brought each& everyone here for a particular purpose. One that can't be achieved by only sucking milk,crawling or attempting to walk.
In 1Peter 2:2,our God affords _newborn babies in Christ to crave for pure spiritual milk_... *And this is the important part*... _so that you may *grow up* in your salvation._
Let's grow up beyond the 'physical' & mind of a child but in heart&then grow in spirit towards achieving his purpose for making us. Life is all about achieving our Purpose.It only begins with a little child... *Don't be or remain like a little child in this*
*YOU...BE CAREFUL OF THIS:*
In Matt 18.& Luke 17,Jesus says it _'it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied round his neck *than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin*_
I've seen&interacted with quite a number of people in my years of life. In this, *i've always loved &adored those whose behaviour shows that tender,pure&genuineness of HEART. (Such people are more than wonderful*)
Note this is entirely different from being gullible or immature like a little child.
In all, God wants us to be like a little child only in Heart with all its purity but does not want us to stay as immature&of little use like a little child.
*SO I SAY:*
*BE LIKE A LITTLE CHILD,DON'T BE LIKE A LITTLE CHILD*_(IT IS A WRAP)_
