Oh praise GOD for the lesson that children can teach us.

This morningmy daughter Hannah found a dead bug in the windowsill and I asked her toget a napkin and throw the bug away. She informed me that it would beokay if the bug stays there because GOD will take care of that bug. Yousee when people, animals and yes even insects die; in her mind they willbe going to Heaven and GOD will be coming shortly to take that insect toHeaven. Now that is faith, maybe a little misdirected on the dead buggoing to heaven, but faith nonetheless. She does not fear death becauseshe knows Father GOD will take care of that.

The grown-up world spendsthe rest of the child's life trying to teach them about GOD'slimitations in our world and their sense of faith and awe begins to waneand they can lose that wonderful beautiful faith and trust that GOD canaccomplish all things. Learn from a child and look to your Father totake care of things.Mark 10:13-16 NKJV13 Then they brought young children to Him, that He might touch them;but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus sawit, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little childrencome to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of Godas a little child will by no means enter it." 16 And He took them up inHis arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them. John 14:1-414:1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe alsoin Me. 2 In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, Iwould have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go andprepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself;that where I am, there you may be also. NKJV
