Children's Letters to God
Dear God, In church they told us what you
do. Who does it when you are on vacation? - Jane. Dear God, Are you
really invisible or is that just a trick? - Lucy. Dear God, Did you mean
for the giraffe to look that way or way it an accident? - Norma. Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and making new ones, why don't you keep the ones
you have now? - Jane. Dear God, Who draws the lines around the countries?
- Nan. Dear God, Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for
was a puppy! - Joyce. Dear God, It rained while we were on vacation and
my father said some bad things about you. Please don't hurt him? - Your Friend.
Dear God, Why do we go to school on Sunday? I thought it was a day of
rest. - Tom. Dear God, If you will give me a genie lamp, I will give you
one of the wishes. Raphael. Dear God, I want to be just like my dad when
I grow up but not with so much hair all over. - Sam. Dear God, I bet it
is hard for you to love all the people in the world. There are only four in our
family and I can never do it - Nan. Dear God, Look for me in church and I
will show you my new shoes. - Mickey. Dear God, I read that Thomas Edison
made light, but in Sunday School they said you did. Did he steal your idea? -
Donna. Dear God, Why does the preacher ask for money three times every
Sunday? - Ed. Dear God, If you are everywhere and invisible, are you the
one who opens the doors at the stores? - Leah.
"And they brought young children to him, that he
should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when
Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer (permit) the
little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom
of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as
a little child, he shall not enter therein" (Mark
10:13-15).
A child has no problem believing in God and the Bible. If
a person would put away their past lifestyles, traditions, and self-will, become
as a child they could have more faith in God. The Lord says, "As a little
child." Are you willing to have the great faith of a little child?
[TGC]
THOT: Great
faith starts small.
TODAY: Ask the Lord to give you greater faith. Be
willing to receive the faith He gives you.
