Previous Daily Devotional More about receiving the Kingdom of God Luke 18:17 I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (NIV) The kingdom of God is within us yet we must receive it. Imagine the possibilities and the difficulties. It is possible to receive the kingdom of God that is now within you, yet you must become like a child to do so. Although the kingdom of God is within us, we must become different than we are to receive the kingdom. We must open our heart to receive the kingdom of God like a child open's up and receives a gift or present. Most children have incredible imaginations. Most children will believe what an adult would consider to be outlandish tales and incredible stories. A child is willing to believe because a child has not been jaded and hurt by the world. As a child gets older, the child is not as trusting and not as believing. As the child gets older still, the child gets even more skeptical. To receive the kingdom of God, we must go back in time and be open and trusting like we were when we were young and small. In Christ, we have a person who we can open up to and trust. Christ is a person we can trust because He will never hurt us, abandon us, or disappoint us. |
