The Faith of a Child
Last night my church’s preschool and children’s choirs presented programs in our evening worship. The program was so sweet! I love to see little ones praising God! Children are so innocent and free of the worldly stuff that bogs down adults. They are so free and believing. I was moved by the entire act of worship.
One preschooler sang off key the entire program, yet sang with all his heart. He was so proud to sing the lyrics that described God’s L-O-V-E!
Then the children’s choir did something different. Instead of singing a musical like usual they learned some traditional hymns. The children were taught about the meaning of the words of songs they sing in “big” church. It was so special to hear young children describing theological issues that I have trouble understanding. Two young children told the meaning of the trinity with such faith and assurance. I thought of the verses in Matthew that talk about the faith of a child. The bible teaches that to enter the kingdom of heaven we have to have faith like a little child. ( Matthew 18 2-4)
