Child-like faith

Verse of the day - Ephesians 2:8 (NRSV)

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God -

In the sixth chapter of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about coming to Him in child-like faith.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

My dear children, I love each of you so much.  Everyone is special to Me.  Come to Me with the faith of a child.  Believe in Me.  Through Me, all things are possible to those who believe.  The faith of a small child is great.  They believe with all their heart.  Open your hearts to receive this type of faith.  When your children are small, teach them about Me.  Allow them to come to Me in prayer.  It is through prayer that they will continue to grow in their love for Me.

Jesus desires us to come to Him in child-like faith.  When we were small children, we turned to our earthly father and mother for guidance and assistance.  We trusted that they would lead us in the right direction and keep us safe from harm.  As we grow older, we can still turn to them for advice.  If we feel as though we have been abandoned by our earthly parents, or they have passed on to eternal life in Heaven with God our Father, we should try to remember that we are never alone.  Jesus is our Heavenly Father and Mary is our Heavenly Mother.  In our time of need, if we come to Jesus and Mary in child-like faith, we will receive the answers to the questions we have.  They will always be there for us.  Our human tendency is to find someone on earth we can talk to.  Even though we as humans have good intentions to help one another in times of need and distress, only Jesus has the true answers we are searching for.
