Are you tired of the chase? The striving? It is exhausting to try to do more, be more and get more. What if there’s a better way?
“…Whoever humbles himself like a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4
Jesus’ closest followers asked Him who was the greatest in His kingdom. Perhaps they hoped one of them would get a pat on the back for all their good work. But Jesus called over a little child. He honored their humility, their lack of striving or trying to impress anyone. And He invited his followers (and us) into that space.
My heart needs this reminder. I don’t need to chase accolades or approval. People-pleasing is an exhausting chase.
Instead, I want a simple childlike faith. And a heart that is humble and tender toward the Lord.
God sees you. The real you. And His love for you isn’t earned or a reward for your good behavior. He simply loves His kids. And He can do great things through your childlike faith. – Sandi
