old revelation - new perspective {in the park}

so last year God showed me something totally amazing about child-like faith. ever since then my eyes have kinda been more open to the way children act and then the way we, as adults, act; especially with our faith or our attitude towards God. Thus...i LOVE watching people...ALL THE TIME! :D

anyways, today we went to the park for prayer and a little bit of time outside for lunch. during prayer i was listening to my ipod, journaling, praying, & watching. as i looked to my right i could see two little boys (maybe 3 years old) running around in the open grass. then one of them jumped up on the summer stage and kind of walked over to where two of our guys were sitting. then he ran around on the stage for a bit then walked right over in between the both of them and walked down the steps. i could do nothing but laugh because the little boy was totally oblivious. seeing how his friend made out, the other boy did the same thing, this time he walked on the outside of where one of the guys was sitting. again, he didnt care.

he didnt care who was watching. he didnt care what other people thought. he didnt care what stood (or sat) in his way, he was gonna get to where he wanted to go. those boys didnt care how high the jump was from the stage to the grass. they were totally unhindered. they were free!

i then looked down @ my journal and decided that anything i had written didnt really hold a candle to what i just saw with my eyes. i turned everything i had just seen into something could be realized in my own life. how do we act when we are in the presence of a stranger vs. how we act when we are in the presence of our Daddy God???

do we care? do we care who sees when we worship our God? do we let obstacles stand in our way? do we jump no matter how high it is? do we care what the cost is? do we depend on the conditions to determine our worship?

--> these are just some questions that i took from my view in the park today. ask yourself these questions. do they ring true in your life? are you living out your faith like a child? child like faith is beautiful.
