Nothing New in this World

When we are young, we believe that this world is just the way we see it. Almost like, when people believed the world made you fall off it, once coming to the outer end. Our world view is so small and limited. We are having limited knowledge and understanding. We are literally ignorant.

The Bible says that we need to come to God as children. Why is that?

 [ The Little Children and Jesus ] People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18:15-17

The last sentence is a very strong statement considering that it speaks of our ability to enter the Kingdom of God. As children we should inherit the estate of our parents, we don't purchase or earn that in the sense of performing to receive. As children we are also belonging to our parents. We are not separated by birth but we belong by birth. As children of God we are adopted into the Kingdom of God, nevertheless, no less  than being born again by the Spirit.

So as children, we are supposed to belong. As children we don't understand the divisive methods of the enemy wanting to separate us from the Love of our Father in Heaven for eternity.
There is nothing new in this world, which could be done or produced to accomplish this goal by the enemy. Jesus has paid the price for all sins and experiences men/women could ever have; from the time of conception to the end of life itself.

Our view is distorted/limited to us in our years of childhood and youth, but nevertheless, our Father has the overall view and is not limited to what He can see for us in our lifetime. Jesus' death and resurrection has paved the way for us to tap into the view God has for us. His wisdom, view and experiences are freely available to us.

So, no...there is nothing new in this world that we should face and could not by the Grace, Power, Love and Mercy of our great Father, through Jesus His beloved son, overcome. We can face anything and see it be turned into beauty.

My prayer today: Father, by Your marvelous Spirit help us to change our view, to see what You see. To know what You know. Help us to receive You in Your fullness and run after Your heart with all that we have.

Enjoy this world God gives to you and farewell until next time.
