A FATHER LEARNS FROM HIS SON

“Then Jesus said, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.’”  (Matthew 18:3 NLT)

Andrew Giles wrote a poignant poem about a father and son praying together one night. First, the little boy confesses some little something that he had done that he felt was wrong, and then the little boy asked God to forgive him and to make him good and strong and wise like his daddy. Then the little boy dozed off into a peaceful sleep.

Touched and inspired by the beautiful faith of his son, the father then falls on his knees by the little boy’s bed and prays, “O God, make me a child like my child here -- pure, guileless, trusting Thee with faith sincere.”

-- James W. Moore and Bob J. Moore in “Lord, Give Me Patience… and Give it to Me Right Now!”
