Choice doesn’t need a reason.

Choice is.

God is.

God chooses to love us.

Love is choice.

God is love.

Choice is god.

Children are the gateway to the Kingdom of God. That’s why I like serving them so much. They have the utmost trust in God. If any doubt be in them at all, it is doubting they will ever doubt. When you tell a child something, they believe it. When you offer a child your relationship, they trust you. We’re to have the faith of children, and are never to cause a child to be offended, or to stumble and sin.

I appreciate the children I’m able to connect with. I’m able to look into their eyes and see the eyes of my master, teacher, and friend Jesus.

Today, focus on serving a child. You may actually be entertaining an angel. Go for it. See what happens.

“Many people think that the Bible is the authentic word of God and they worship the Bible, making it an idol…” Alan Watts, from “The Essence of Alan Watts series - GOD

That’s a beautiful quote. The Word is Jesus. Jesus isn’t the Bible. The Bible is a collection of books, inspired by God, translated and transliterated by men. The essence is true, the manifold on which it rests is, at best, susceptible to distrust.

In all my imperfections, in all my religious habits, in all my abuse of grace, in all my distrust of God, in all my hate of others, in all my jealousy and wrath, in all my pride and discontentment, in all of my flesh, and with the thorn in my side…I will press toward the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. I am a disciple of Christ, not a Christian.

Philippians 3:14.

I trust God, expect the best, and value life.
