My Child ...
Matthew 18:1-4
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 the middle of them 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 is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

God wants to pick you up, give you a hug and whisper your name in your ear. You are His child and He is your Father. This is your destiny; this is what you were created for. When you let Him love you in this way, as a father loves his little child, you will begin to realize that the need for love and affirmation you had as a little child is still deep within you.
When you allow yourself to be embraced by God, you begin to see that this is what you’ve been looking for all your life. You may have searched for it in your career, in a relationship or in many other things, but you will find it only in one place—in the arms of your heavenly Father.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, I pray that You would give me the grace to become more childlike. I want You to pick me up and hold me tight. I want to lose myself in Your unfailing love. Help me to walk in the simplicity of faith that allows me to trust You wholeheartedly for all my needs. Thank You, gentle Father, for hearing this simple prayer. Amen.
