There are millions upon millions of older people in this country. People who have worked hard all their lives, have been devoted to their families, paid their bills and tried hard to please God in every way possible. They are called Christians. Oh, there are all types, phony ones, proud ones, holiday ones, immature ones and then there is the "real McCoy". However, they all have one thing in common: they are human beings and human beings grow older. With age comes the question: What have I done with my life? We wonder what was the point of it all and as we progress towards "old age", some of us begin to think of the next life... and that's a good thing!!! But, first, we need to check our attitude at the door... here is what I mean...
WEB: Matthew Chapter 18
[1] In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
[2] Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in their midst, [3] and said, "“Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. [4] Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. [5] Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,
Humility is the stuff of genuine Christianity. It is an insight towards personal growth and the sign of true conversion from the world of "I". I liked the picture because its true, because it transcends the harsh reality of the world and leads to possibilities of what can be. And with God, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! We just need to get ourselves out of the way and lean on HIM. Isn't this what kids do? Is it possible? You bet!!! Can you say this about yourself; I can't answer that question but this I know... until today, I never thought of a telescope like this before!!! I can't wait until God shows me something new... I might actually learn something.
