Receiving Like a Child

Getting Over Depression Journal

Scripture: Mark 10: [15] I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Observation: A little child trusts and believes. They have no stress and their minds are not preoccupied with the world and what they need to do. It’s easy to make a child laugh and they want your company. A child can sit and listen to a story and likes hugs and to be held tight. A child needs to know they’re loved and freely gives love back.

Application: That’s how I need to be with my heavenly Father, trusting, loving, listening, desiring His love and to be able to sit still and listen.

Prayer: My Lord give me the heart of a child. Open to you, may I sit by your side and listen to what you have for me.
