Wednesday - A Dose of Daily Inspiration - "A Childlike Faith"
A Childlike Faith
This devotional was written by Leslie Snyder
And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." --Matthew 18:3
I overheard some four- and five-year-old children following their teacher in a familiar cheer. "Give me a J," cheered the teacher. "J," yelled the children. "Give me an "E," encouraged the teacher. "E," yelled the children. The teacher continued, "Give me an "S." "S," chorused the children. Their voices grew louder as the teacher led them to the final letters of "U" and "S." Together they said J-E-S-U-S! With excitement rising, the teacher shouted, "What's that spell?" A strange pause followed and one child finally answered, "I don't know." I couldn't help but laugh at the innocence of the answer.
Kids are like that. They believe what you tell them, celebrate the simple joys of discovery, and become excited when given new ideas and experiences. That is the joy of a childlike faith. Unfortunately, something happens between childhood and adulthood that changes everything. Expectations, pains, failures and disappointments enter the picture and the once joyous innocence of childhood becomes marred. Faith can slowly gives way to cynicism, and hearts that were once open and filled to overflowing become closed, cold and empty.
Jesus calls us, however, to return to a childlike faith. The late author Mike Yaconelli wrote of this "place all children know about." "This voice of our childhood is the voice of wonder and amazement, the voice of God, which has always been speaking to us, even before we were born." He then describes what happens when things change. "One sad day, we are aware of an absence. We can no longer hear the God-voice, and we are left with only silence--not a quiet silence, but a roaring silence."*
Yaconelli suggested the reason we stopped hearing God's voice was not because we wanted to stop hearing it, but that our lives became louder. I am convinced that children have an innate ability to hear the voice of God, and it is that clarity which makes it easy to believe. As we go through life, other noise enters the scene and muffles the once-clear voice of God. Now we must spend the rest of our lives "clearing the air" in order to return to the simple clarity of our childhood.
Jesus invites us to come to Him as little children, eager to be with Him, to simply enjoy His presence. Today, take some time to remember the simple pleasures of childhood. Laugh out loud, sing too loud, lighten your step a little and remember Who waits to share this time with you.
GOING DEEPER:
Sometimes children say it the best. Consider this child's prayer: "Dear God, I don't ever feel alone since I found out about you." Nora**

Wednesday - The Sayings of Jesus
John 17:1-13
1) When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, " Father, the hour has come; glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify thee, 2) since thou hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. 3) And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. 4) I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou gavest me to do; 5) and now, Father, glorify thou me i n thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee before the world was made. 6) " I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. 7) Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee; 8) for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9) I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; 10) all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11) And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12) While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13) But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

Tuesday - The Sayings of Jesus
Luke 12:49-59
49) " I came to cast fire upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled! 50) I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how I am constrained until it is accomplished! 51) Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; 52) for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; 53) they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her m other, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." 54) He also said to the multitudes, " When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, `A shower is coming'; and so it happens. 55) And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat'; and it happens. 56) You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? 57) " And why do you not judge for yourselves what is right? 58) As you go with your accuser before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in prison. 59) I tell you, you will never get out till you have paid the very last copper."
