Trail Mix - 9.1.18

Trail Mix - 9.1.18 – “Jesus said that to enter the kingdom we had to be like little children. How is that possible when we have so much cluttering up our lives? How do we achieve the “simplicity” of a child? Notice that He did not say childishness but childlikeness! We become childlike with our hearts not our heads. It is not a mountain to climb but a valley to walk. When we are willing to humble ourselves we find the childlike heart Jesus spoke about. “Blessed are the meek…” for they shall be the most childlike and the most Christlike! S. E. Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to hold to the Father’s hand and stay close to the Father’s heart.

Matthew 23:12  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. KJV

“When we get to heaven, there will be no contest to see who was the most deserving of God’s grace because no one deserves it. There will only be one contest in heaven. When we look back and see what we were before, when we see the pit from which he rescued us, when we recall how confused we were, when we remember how God reached out and hired us into His family, and how he held us in his hand, and when we see Jesus who loved us and gave himself for us, the only contest will be to see which of us will sing the loudest: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.” Brian Bill
