Tonight a group of us met for a night of prayer that was unlike any I had ever seen. We meet each sunday night and each week the presence of the spirit got stronger and stronger in an impressive way. tonight though what astounded me most was a little girl that is maybe 1 a year and a half. As we were singing praises to God she kept reacher her hand above her head and pointing up toward heaven. It was BEAUTIFUL and though she may not know what she is doing it was a huge testament that again all we need is Him. She can't walk well, talk much, feed herself, do anything because she got the most basic principal-- LOOK UP.
It was beautiful because too often we get caught up in the all these details but all we need to do is point up and realize that that is all we need. We need to have childlike faith as the word says:
Matthew 18:3 " "Truly I say to you, Unless You turn around and become as young children, you will by no means enter into the kingdom of the heavens."
Note that childlike and childish are not the same. Having innocence like a child and a teachable spirit and the fervor for the Lord is great, but you walk with the Lord is anything but childish. It must be something you RUN after. He wants all of you and nothing less. So as you keep praying for his presence and Him remember that He wants all of you and all of your heart and then you can have Him.You can be childish and not realize that He calls for obedience but childlike in that you are willing to follow Him and not try and lead yourself. Let the man with the plan guide your steps.
I'm praying for each of you tonight. That you may know of God's grace and that He will put in you the desire to run after Him. The peace and joy that comes from doing that is unmatchable.
