Become a Child Again

Being at a Christian College and a member of the chapel band, and a ministry major, it is often easy to be an environment where Christianity becomes a religion instead of a relationship. Playing worship becomes technical. Reading the Bible becomes dissecting it and trying to explain everything away, when the answer may just be simple and plain. Although it is good to play skillfully and study the Bible, I realized I need to get back to a child like relationship with God. Expressing my love for Him unashamed. 

Matthew 18:2-4  "He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Children are humble. They believe in big great things. They have dreams. They love and admire. They are simple. They adore. They are full of wonder. They are believers. They are unashamed. God loves children. As followers of Christ and members of God's adopted family, let's be children before the Lord :)
