Number 68 of
"100 Things God Loves About You" by Tama Fortner:
GOD
LOVES THE CHILD IN YOU
"Jesus
called the children
to him and said,
'Let the little children
come to me, and do
not hinder
them, for the
kingdom of God
belongs to such as
these.'"
~ Luke 18: 16
"Rainbows still stop you in your tracks. Splashing through mud puddles
is your secret delight. And, let's be honest, there are few things more
wonderful than a chocolate chip cookie dunked into ice cold milk. No matter
your age, there's always that part of you that never quite completely grows
up. The part that giggles at knock-knock jokes and is still amazed by the
endless, everyday miracles of life.
"It's okay, you know. There's no need to completely grow up. Jesus is
delighted by little children, and He's delighted by the child in you. So go
ahead....dunk that cookie... and, yeah, lick the spoon too."
