"The Child Spirit"

I think that I need to work on trusting as a little child trusts....


The Child Spirit
July 2

Does the way seem a stony one? Not one stone can impede your progress. Courage. Face the future, but face it only with a brave and happy heart. Do not seek to see it. YOU are robbing it Faith of her sublime sweetness if you do this.
Just know that all is well and that Faith is not seeing, but believing, is the barque that will bear you to safety, over stormy waters. "According to your faith be it done unto you" was my injunction to those who sought healing of Me.
If for wonder working, if for healing, if for salvation faith was so necessary then the reason is clear why I urged that all who sought entrance into My Kingdom must become as little children. Faith is the child-atitude.
Seek in every way to become child-like. Seek, seek, seek, until you find, until the years have added to your nature that of the trusting child. Not only for it's simple trust must you copy the child-spirit, but for it's joy in life. It's ready laughter. It's lack of criticism, it's desire to share with all men. Ask much that you become as little children, friendly and loving towards all. Not critical. Not fearful.
"Except ye...become as little children ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
