One day when my oldest son was 3 years old I walked into the dining room to find him standing in the middle of the table. He was reaching up high, stretched to his full capability. When I asked him what he was doing he responded, "I'm trying to touch God!"
How precious a child's faith is. The lessons we can learn from them abound if we only take the time to listen and apply their simple words and faith to our lives.
These simple words, I'm trying to touch God, speak of the yearning of my heart. Can't you just picture it! I am standing on my tip toes reaching, stretching, desiring to get closer to God with a childlike faith.
...Jesus said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. Mark 10:14-16
I'm coming Lord!
