Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with lavish love:

“‘Ah, Sovereign LORD,’ I said, ‘I do not know how to speak; I am only a child.’”
(Jeremiah 1:6)

That’s exactly how I feel, Jesus.

I’m just a child.

Oh, I try to be “big.”

I try to come across to others as

wise
strong
mature
insightful
knowledgeable

but You know I’m not.

I’m only a child.

Of course…the good thing about that is

I know I don’t know.

That’s something, isn’t it?

Ha! At least I’m not on an ego trip!

There’s another thing I like about being a child:

You like children.

In fact, You said something stunning – that if I humble myself and become like a little child

I will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

That fills me with hope, Jesus!

But the best part of all about being a child

is knowing Whose child I am.
