Kids.

They're so adorable when they're having fun. Smiles on their faces or that gint in their eyes when they're up to something mysterious.

When you tell them something believable, they might just believe you whole heartedly. Probably thats why Jesus once said its easier for a child to enter the kingdom of God.

They simply just believe!

Kids don't even know what's pain when they're enjoying themselves. They can fall countless of times while ice skating, but because its fun and something new, they'll pick themselves up and carry on skating.

Or if they're about to fall, they'll automatically grab onto something. They'll not move unless being led by someone and if they are left alone at a place, they'll move to a place where they feel safe.

If only most Christians were like this too!

Always having that child-like faith in us, we're always hungry for more of God and His word. We absorb whatever the bible says and believes it whole heartedly. Even though we may stumble in our walk with God, we'll pick ourselves up and laugh about it. Then carry on with life loving God even more than before.

I was with my nephews and nieces ice skating at kallang and noticed all these things. Though it might be just a once in a blue moon experience, I guess its more than enough for God wanting to tell me something.

Basically kids really don't have any worries. Who cares about food? Because their parents are gonna pay for their food everyday. Who cares about clothes? Because their parents buy them new clothes.

All kids know and do is to enjoy themselves as much as possible. No matter what it is, it can be very enjoyable for them. From ice skating to dunking a piece of popcorn chicken into pepsi is fun, and they can do it with such great passion!

I'm definitely not asking you not to work and wait for money to drop from heaven. But I guess its the assurance that God will provide because you're His child and being a good Father, He'll definitely give you whatever you want and ask for.

But if you're a spoilt and bad kiddie, would God still pamper you? Probably not as much right? same goes for those spoilt and bad kids that we usually experience once in a while. Didn't you just wish that he/she would just disappear from your sight and stop irritating you? Parents, wouldn't you feel that your child is just a disaster and out of control?

But at the end of the day, your child will still look extremely angelic when he/she falls asleep.

Same goes for our Heavenly Father! Well, I don't think he feel irritated whenever He sees us misbehaving, but I'm quite sure that at the end of the day, God would tell Satan that we're His beloved children and Satan has no dominion over us.

But that doesn't mean that we can remain childish and immatured all our lives. It's cute for a 5 year old girl to give bambi eyes over sweets, but disgusting for a 30 years old lady to do so.

If God has enpowered us with something, He expects us to use it! If not, why would He even give these gifts and talents to us?

As kids, they'll probably not understand what's their gifts and talents. But as grown ups, you should know what're your gifts and talents and you should start learning how to maximize your potential within!

If you do not know, means you're still living in a nut-shell. So its time for you to emerge and breakthrough! Break out of your nut shells and find out about your gifts and talents! It's about time now!
