I am certain that God intended for most of us to become parents. After all, how much of the Bible is so much more understandable, so much more relevant, after becoming a parent?
Today (as she often does) my daughter shocked me. She's 6 years old and has an amazing view of the world.
My husband was quizzing her on reading words. She reads the word, then uses it in a sentence. They make a game out of it and she has fun using her imagination. Today her new word was this. "This is powerful!" Powerful...a word she easily uses.
Tell her that her outfit doesn't match and she'll tell you that it doesn't matter what she looks like, she's beautiful on the inside. Her self-esteem is solid and real.
Ask her if God exists and she'll look at you like you're crazy. Of course he exists. Her faith is simple and steadfast.
God tells us to enter the kingdom of Heaven like little children (Luke 18:17). I think my daughter portrays exactly what he means.
God wants us to be confident.
God wants us to be secure in who we are.
God wants us to have a faith that does not waver.
I want to grow up to be just like my 6 year old.
