Jesus tells that we should welcome him with the openhearted trustfulness of a little child. St James tells us that we should pray always. What is prayer? I was taught as a child that it is the raisinng of the heart and the mind to God. Jesus taught his disciple to pray. When they prayed they were to turn to God as little children to their father and even to the extent of addressing him with a childish word for father, "abba" "Daddy".

Such a familiarity with the "One who Is" had never before been heard and must have shocked his listeners. But Jesus the true Son, begotten not made, shows us a new way to come to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.God is our Father and is to be loved as such and worshipped as the Creator and Saviour and Inspirer of mankind.

St Paul told us that as an adult he put away the things of childhood; the petty selfishness of all babies, the greed of toddlers, the argumentiveness of teenagers and as  a man knew that he could have a pure knowledge of God unclouded by the murkiness of his own self. This is possible for me too but I must sincerely cooperate with the abundance that is the Grace of God.

Dear Lord all over your world sins are being committed by we your stupid ones. We have been saved but in our evil stupidity want more from this world than is possible for it to give. Your eternitity is the place where we will know that You God are our only place of peace and spiritual contentment. Let me and mine  this day live our lives in acccordance to your will for us.
