Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

I inhabit the praises of my people. Songs of praise, works of art, poems and verse; all these things are instruments of praise.  The potter’s hand, the artist’s brush, the jeweler’s design, the architect’s plans, the seamstress’s stitches, the musician’s notes – all reflect the creativity of the Lord expressed in joy.  The gift of creativity starts in childhood.  A child finds joy in an ant, a leaf, a flower, a snowflake…. exploring, climbing, laughing and singing. A child holds nothing back: 100% joy and amazement at miracles in the earth and sky. Adults can lose this joy. A child-like faith consists of total trust and total surrender. A child of God needs only to acknowledge the sovereignty of God and trust that God knows best.  A child of God is fearless and lives life one day at a time, knowing her future is secure in the Lord.

Jesus called a little one to his side and said to them, “Learn this well:

Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable,

and learn about heaven’s kingdom realm with the wide-eyed wonder of a child,

you will never be able to enter in.”

Matthew 18:2-3   TPT
