I WANT TO BE AS A LITTLE CHILD.

I want to be as a little child...obedient, humble and without guile.


Eager to serve, repentant and meek, becoming strong where now I am weak.


I know that I have celestial worth.


My time is precious here on earth. To reap the blessings
of Fathers plan, I can't afford the natural man.


To greet Him...


Hold him, kiss his feet when in His heavenly realms we meet.


To kneel before His wounded hands, I cheerfully do what he commands.


This is my sacred eternal goal. It lights the dark places of my soul.


I live to see my Saviors smile. He'll call me home, His little child.

Have a wonderful day my friends...and remember...you are a child of God.
You are known and loved by your Father in Heaven and by your Savior Jesus Christ.
They have set up a beautiful plan of happiness for you and I and our goal as we left them,
was to return to them. Don't let this old world get you down, you are more than you know.
You are a Child of God. They are there for you and will be for your whole life, hold to them.

Julie said...

What a beautiful post and TRUTH! I love all the pictures you used. The images of Jesus Christ as a shepherd over the little ones is so touching and heartwarming. My lesson with my four year olds a couple of weeks ago where I work childcare for Bible Studies at church was about Jesus telling the disciples to let the little ones come to HIM. Truly they are very very special to the Saviour.
They do not have room in their hearts to doubt ONE who loves them...precious. Have a wonderful Sunday Julie!!!!! Thank you for a sweet reminder and post. xoxo

Brandi said...

Ingrid de Villiers said...

What a lovely post Julie! I think a lot of people don't realize how much Jesus loves us and what He as done for us!
Thanks for visiting my blog, I apologize because Silvia's home is not in Tuscany, it is in Naples, Florida, USA. It was a bit confusing. She has a Tuscan style home...so I made it more clear on my post....sorry about that!
