The faith of a child.....

So I was thinking of one of my younger friends, and how I have noticed that she seems to have this pull in two directions.. She wants to be a little girl- carefree, and basically doing what she wants, yet she also would like to be seen as grown, and would like to act as such..
I've been noticing that life seems to get so much more complicated as the years pass.. when I was younger things just were simple, and I could act just like I wanted. (basically) but now that I'm older I have to be careful of the way I act around guys, I have to make sure that my actions are lady-like, things just suddenly seem to get so much bigger, and harder to understand, and it basically seems like my world has suddenly expanded.
And then it suddenly hit me! Just as a child sees things as being so simple, and takes whatever their parents say as being true, so God would like us to be.. having the faith of a child.
Yes, life might have been so much more simple when we were young, but when it comes to our relationship with God, it still is. He hasn't changed; when He says that He will never leave us, that means He never will.
So even though so much (for me) has been changed, and turned topsy-turvy, I know that it doesn't matter what's goin' on- Jesus Christ is the same- forever. It still is so simple.... We just need to have the faith of a child.
