“Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they will see God.” (Matthew 5:8 NIV)
We went to lunch Sunday with a grandmother and her two grandsons,
(Jack) is six and (Jake) is seven years old. As we were talking I asked (Jack) what
his favorite subject in school was. “Recess” he said.
That is pure honesty; words spoken from the heart. He never
hesitated or gave any thought as to how he should answer, he just answered. What
happens as we get older? Where does the honest innocence go? You think maybe
that was what Jesus had in mind when He said, “Unless you change and become
like little children, you will NEVER enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Emphasis mine)
I never expected (Jack) to answer with recess but I should
have. It was my favorite subject too! Wonder what I would have answered if
(Jack) had asked me; “Pastor, what is the best thing you like about your job?”
God knows what I would answer. How honest are you with God?
