As we live through life, we grow into 'mature worldly beings'- rather than growing up into 'mature children of God'.
Jesus Christ exhorts us to be like a child- in our innocence1; in our humility; in our forgiveness; in our love towards God and our neighbor.
We should diligently preserve2 this Childlikeness - even while we are maturing.
Because
once we lose this gentle innocence, then it becomes difficult on part
of our maturity to live a life of faith in God; to love and forgive and
be innocent as a little lamb.
1. Innocence= Childlike; Harmless (innocence will suffer in all humility but never offend- never harm.); having credulous faith (just a little evidence is enough, to believe- e.g. Apostle John); be humbly reliant (as a child is reliant on its mother for everything- we as mature children should be reliant on God.)
2.
Preserve childlikeness= By staying close to God- through prayer; Holy
Mass; Spiritual reading and spending time with little children.
I am a Catholic. I have committed my whole life to God — to live a life of prayer.
I spend my time in prayer and spiritual reading.
On this blog, I share the fruit of my contemplation — my spiritual writings and spiritual artworks.
My heart and my life is more focused on bringing unbelievers back to God — inspiring Faith in their hearts.
I pray that my life and my work become a worthy offering to God.
Blessed be God, forever !!!
