       It’s funny. I was thinking earlier today that the best time in my life I think was when I was four or five years old. “Why is that?” someone might ask. Well, it’s because all you do at that age is have fun, right? You play, you enjoy your toys, you enjoy siblings and friends, you spend time with your parents, you go to fun events, etc. You don’t even know that bills exist (usually). It’s just a fun age to be, at least, for a lot of people; I know it was for me. Before school starts, it is just sheer happiness. I loved this time of my life so much that I don’t think I would mind being this age for all of eternity. It would be cool to be five years old in Heaven. But jumping out of that, let’s get back to reality. “Yes, of course,” someone will say. “What you just talked about isn’t reality.” Well, actually, I would kind of beg the differ. The truth is, deep down, if we were surrendered enough, if we were trusting in God enough, if we had enough faith, we really could live like a child all the time. Yes, certainly so. Isn’t that what we were told that we are supposed to be doing?
