The other day I took my daughter on a walk to the park. We took a digital camera to take photos. She was taking pictures of anything and everything. I found myself thinking, “My goodness are we going to take a photo of everything?” I was quickly getting impatient.
Then, a voice in my head said, “Look at the world through a child’s eyes.” This stopped me in my tracks. Why was I rushing my daughter? She clearly saw beauty in every fallen leaf, every Dandelion, every stick in the grass. She was seeing the beauty of God’s Kingdom.
“Whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Luke 18:17
From that moment on, I didn’t worry about making sure we kept moving. I didn’t care about “the walk”. All I cared about was being in the moment with my daughter and seeing God’s beautiful kingdom with her.
It is really easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the world. Try your best to enjoy the little things. Receive the Kingdom of God like a child.
