childlike

"lead me to the place,
where i can see you face to face,
all i want to do is worship You.."

.. what can make a grown man cry like a child,
is when he starts believing like a child

"a child seeks to know the truth, not reasons to believe a lie." -ravi zach.

why so skeptical oh my soul,
doesn't thou get weary and heavy laden?
Christ has set me free from my burden,
so rise like the eagle and smile like a child.

a man ought to have roughly three phrases in life,
being born into this world with innocents,
all man have the potential for good,
yet in this fallen society it is only normal to be corrupted.
the world's influences and pressures will persuade thee,
but though persecuted, you shan't be crushed nor abandoned.

after a child, a man grows into adolescences,
some man do and some man don't,
some stay immature some stay childish,
and owh how vast the difference is from being childlike!
for that shall only come in the third phase.
while still here at the second pit stop, many meet a companion
called rebellion
he teaches critical thinking, skepticism, tickeries, discernment,
he's a friend who shows what wisdom is to call a bluff,
to see through lies that the eyes of weariness only can do.
he's also a foe who makes the heart harden,
and oh how sad it is to lose emotions, how devastating it is to not cry.
when one feels neither right nor wrong, hapiness or sadness,
stuck in the void like a lukewarm water, be it better for him to be spat out
to the ground and face palm the earth eating dirt.
then shall he realism that there is more to life than being a friend of rebellion.

the third phase, if one would ever mange to escape the second,
holding onto the hand of transcendence,
knowing there is something far greater than oneself of anything of this world,
something divinely pure and true.
a light that shines the way and guides the path,
a love that never fails.
then oh how much the angles rejoice, and how great the Gloria in Excelsis Deo shall be
for than the man can start believing like a child again
for then the thawing of a frozen heart shall flow fourth tears of a child.

for then one shall be able to cry again,
knowing that skepticism is all but a phase in life.
and all that matters is to trust and obey,
"for there's no other way,
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey"

and eternal life shall then come upon ones life,
just as what is said, eternal life is this = to know Him and the one who sent Him.
in the fullness of His glory, one shall leave behind the old ways, and walk on to life Everlasting.

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

do you want to be a child in the Kingdom of God?
