To have faith like a child

 

Most people don't know what it means to have faith like a child. To have faith like a child means exactly that, to follow GOD with blind faith. walking with blind faith is not easy because we have to do what GOD want us to do without knowing exactly what it is required or what it will cost us.

The disciples questioned Jesus at every turn, in one such occasion was after the disciples had failed to heal a boy with a demon. The mother came in faith to Jesus and Jesus healed the boy. Afterword’s the disciples asked Jesus why they were unable to heal the boy and Jesus told them that they had little faith. Jesus goes onto tell them that if they have faith like a mustard seed they will move mountains and that nothing will be impossible for them. [Matt 17:20] in one verse Jesus told us that through him anything is possible at long as we believe and continue in faith.

So as long as we keep faith in what Jesus did for us on MT Calvary we will have everlasting life, then we will want to follow GOD’s will and we will be able to make it through anything with the power of Jesus. Even though at times life may seem extra difficult but as long as we have faith like a child we will always keep our eyes on GOD and not on worldly things.

Even during Jesus ministry his disciples faltered because of fear and worldly attentions. Even as it mentions on mark 10:14 the disciples tried to keep the children away from Jesus until he rebuked them saying ‘let the children come unto me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of GOD belongs to such as these’. This is a perfect example that we need to follow GOD with faith like children so even if we faultier we will never lose faith in what GOD has in store for us. In this verse the little children knew that JESUS was very good and willingly went too him without question. We need to go to GOD in the same fashion, with blind faith just as the children in mark 10:14.

 In conclusion to have faith like a child is to come to the father by faith and faith alone, we must always put our complete trust in GOD and follow is word and keep his word near our hearts, always so that we might not sin against GOD. Even though life may seem like an impossible task, with total faith in our heavenly father we will always make it through even the hardest situations.

So remember follow GOD with a heart of faith and a mind centered on Jesus. As long as we keep GOD in everything that we do and follow what is instructed of us we will have everlasting life.
