I am currently in Louisville, KY at the Women of Faith conference. This is my first time at this conference and I have already gotten SO much out of it that it has been worth every penny. I am here with Margie Ropp, and 6 other new friends that I have met today. These women are all wonderful people and it is fun getting to know new Christian Followers.
In order to be a good "Leader" and to fulfill the contract that I signed to complete this 40 days of prayer, I brought my laptop, bible, and Faith and Sharing booklet with me on my trip. Reading Mark 10:13-16 this evening made me think of the special children in my life. KK, Wyatt, Blane and our new addition Miss Faeth. I definitely have prayed for them tonight and had them in my heart. The scripture that we read for today tugged at my heart because I didn't understand why the disciples would rebuke the children from touching Jesus. Jesus states "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." This means so much to me, because it simply means that we all must trust and believe in God in a naive, and innocent manner. Children are blunt, honest, and innocent, which most of us should be when it comes to loving God. He knows EVERYTHING even before we talk to him, or show him, so as adults we can't "trick" him, we can't lie to him, or try to convince him of things that aren't the full truth. This is basically what this scripture means to me because we should be totally honest, innocent, and naive "as a child" when approaching Jesus.
So, let the Lord take you in his arms as he would a "child" and pray for him to bless you the same way he blessed the children.
God Bless and I will post again tomorrow evening.
Love,
Lori
