BABIES AND JESUS
Babies are often carried around in those car seats nowadays in many places, restaurants,stores,so on.
Today,as I was finishing a lovely lunch, I noticed a little one nestled happily in his car seat, toted around by a loving Daddy.
This baby was covered with a soft blanket, had many toys about him and suckled contentedly on a teether type toy,and,despite the bumpy,bouncy movement of the seat,nothing seemed to phase him. He was just so happy and trusting and even, unaware of all the world around him.
I was thinking that us how I am at times when I trust my heavenly Father.
Babies do not know what they are riding in, what they are sucking on or even who they themselves really are yet.
All they know is there is someone there who feeds them, cleans them,loves them.
This is how we are too when we find Jesus.
He cleans us up, loves us and feeds us that spiritual milk we desperately have craved for since "time beginning".
Then he carries us,and, if we allow Him, He leads us gently so we discover who we are in Him, "Yet to ALL who DID receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the "right" to become children of God-" (John 1:12)
I want to be like that baby,letting go...........................
Just trusting and knowing Him more and more
