Uncomplicate Like Children

As we get older the more complicated our lives become. Do you remember the simplicity of recess? The stage of life when your greatest concern was what was packed in your pressed tin lunchbox? Life was uncomplicated then. It is in that same frame of mind that Jesus encourages us to approach the Kingdom of God.

People brought babies to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. When the disciples saw it, they shooed them off. Jesus called them back. "Let these children alone. Don't get between them and me. These children are the kingdom's pride and joy. Mark this: Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in." Luke 18:15-17

What is complicating your spiritual journey? What are you allowing to get between you and Jesus?
