Psalm 118. Live as though you were already there. New life. New world. Become as a little child. Love, imagination, trust, dependence, confidence, acceptance, wonder. When did it change? When did we start to take all the burdens of the world on our shoulders? Is that what we call maturity? Growing up?
Jesus said, "Lay your burdens down." There is such a thing as responsibility, but haven't we turned it in to slavery to a world that will be replaced. Our responsibility is to once again return to trust, peace, joy, patience, goodness and love.
I've been taught to distrust (put your trust in God), to cheat, to lie. Lets try to think as God thinks, speak as He speaks, to love, to trust again, and to become as little children--to rest in our Great Father's arms. It's called faith, in Hebrews 11. The burden is too great for a child. Let freedom ring in our hearts. Father is still good. He must be true to Himself. I am a child of God.
Help us, Lord, to give it all to you. Abba, Daddy, Father. Luke 4:18, Exodus 15:26, 1 John 2-3.
In His love, always a work in progress
