“The disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Excerpt, Gospel Reading, Wednesday 2nd Oct. 2024 – MATTHEW 18:1-5.

So, since we all were once children, we must be conversant with the fact that children have a 100% trust in their parents.

Children look on to their parents for everything and more often than not parents strive to fulfil all that are needed by their children.

That’s why a parent might starve just to ensure that their ward(s) have something to eat.

Parents do not regard taking care of their children only just as an obligation but as fulfilment of a right to them.

All these are the more reasons children look on to their parents with confidence that their needs and sometimes even their wants would be satisfied.

The Almighty God in today’s teaching says, for us to make it into the kingdom He has prepared for us, we must, like children, have a blind trust in Him.

May God avail us His grace to permit His will to be realised in our life.

And may our deliberate and reflex actions never cause our guardian angels to shy away from us.

Have a fantastic day folks.
