Kosmos

How I struggle daily to renounce the things of this world.
How reluctant I am to pick up my cross and follow him.
His heart must break.

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him... And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever."

1 John 2:15, 17

Moving Backwards

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

-Matthew 18: 2-4

Father, make us like little children.
