We had the good fortune to have young people staying with us over the weekend.
It was both interesting and educational, reminding me of the story in the Gospel when Christ asked for the little ones to come to Him, saying...
'Unless we become like little children, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.'
What a bold statement!
I wonder how do we become childlike?
The answer seems to be found in simplicity and innocence; having the ability to behave forthright and without duplicity.
Simply said, no pretence / no trying to pretend to be anything but who we are.
When we come face to face with God, we will see ourselves without any shades of grey.
We will be given total awareness of who we are and what we have done with our lives.
Loving to be childlike can help us to grow in this awareness now and we can learn to be the best that we can be.
