Wonder, creativity and innocence, something many of us
struggle to find in everyday life and in ourselves, but as kids we had an
unlimited supply. This could be a sad thought, but the reality is, many people
have been taught in order to grow up they must let go of childish things.
Funny thing really, because when people try to remove the
childish things in their lives they often remove what they should hold on to;
wonder, creativity and innocence. These are the building blocks of what makes a
person interesting and worthy of a place in God’s Kingdom. In order to be
accepted into Heaven, God wants us to be as innocent as a dove, and full of his
creativity and wonder. In a sense you must be child like in order to grow,
however God does require us to leave behind childish things.
What is childish is anything that is selfish and full of bad
intentions. I was raised since birth to always keep a childlike heart, I still
watch cartoons and have the interests of a child, but I know what it means to
be mature, and part of growing up is accepting that I am not perfect but I can
still have a childlike heart.
No one really loses the ability to think like a child as
they grow up, they simply forget to do so. I know it may be harder for some,
but it is completely worth the extra effort. You will find by focusing on
maintaining a childlike heart, you will have a lot more freedom and joy in your
life. Not to mention God will be even happier to receive you in his kingdom.
