       Let us bring to mind what Paul told the Ephesians: “we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him [that is, Christ Jesus our Lord]” (Ephesians 3:12, ESV). We can be bold before God, just as a child. If there is something we want or want done for us, we can tell God plainly. And we have confidence that God now is on our side, that he cares about what we care about. We are frequently taught that what we desire and care about is dumb and stupid, and that we need to align our cares with God’s cares. But remember, we are indwelled by the Spirit, so our cares often are already God’s cares. The haters are gonna hate. Anyway, we have confidence before God like a child. We believe that God is going to work toward us in the way that we desire him work. In one the of churches my own Dad used to take me to when I was growing up, the minister there always like to quote the verse, “Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (Mark 10:15, KJV). So many pastors need to learn this.
