Why do I learn so much from kids? A mother was telling me a story this Sunday at church about their child. She told me that she was talking to her son the other night and they started talking about God and things like that. For some reason, she asked her son what he would do if he met Jesus face to face. What would he say? How would he act? As she told me the story, I wondered how my own kids would respond to such a question. Then, I thought about how I would respond. What would I do? How would I act? Would it depend on what I was doing? Would I want to meet Jesus everywhere I go or are there some places that I would just not want to encounter Jesus?
Then, the mother told me her son’s reply. Her son simply answered – “I would grab his hand and go wherever he wanted to take me.” Wow! I don’t know about you but that is the kind of faith I seek and desire. I argue with God too much. I try to negotiate with God too much. I try to tell God what I want before I ever ask what He wants. Maybe one day – I will have the faith of this little boy and simply grab His hand and let Him lead me wherever.
