Childlike

Our circumstances teach us lessons and shift our perspective. God wants to teach us something new in each situation. He desires to mold us into His likeness. However, as trial after trial comes our way, our human inclination is to become disheartened. We lose sight of hope. We become weary. Our original passion is no longer visible. We begin wondering if it's worth the effort. We have forgotten our Helper!

Our Father wants to shoulder our burden - to make it easy and light. He wants to bring us to green pastures and quiet waters where we draw near to Him. We do not have to allow the world to shape who we are and how we view our circumstances. This doesn't mean we forego our responsibilities or ignore our current situation. Instead, we submit every matter to Him. He is worthy of our trust, and we need not worry about anything.

Our Father wants us to be like children again, full of optimism, hope, and joy. He wants us to let go of bitterness, negativity, and anger. We have let the world shape us for too long, and we are clinging to old habits. But God has the ability to renew us daily! We are a new creation. Each day is full of new anointing!

Let's dance and sing like carefree children again. We have a good Father who wants to captivate us with His love so that there's room for nothing else.
