With Childlike Wonder

 Matthew 11: 25-27

The Father Revealed in the Son

²⁵ At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. ²⁶ Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

²⁷ “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

How we long for a deeper knowledge of God and a more spontaneous, intimate and childlike relationship with him!  Watching children running after butterflies, or delighting themselves in the waves at the beach, reminds us of a treasured  innocence and spontaneity that really makes life a joy.  Too often we are bogged down in worry or anticipation of the worst, forgetting that God is at our side to support and encourage us, and yes, help us regain that "lost innocence." Our Father cares for his children and reveals himself more than he does to the "wise and learned."  Lord, help me to learn again what it means to have childlike trust and wonder.
