[QUOTE="discombobulated1, post: 77658533, member: 455320"] I think what Jesus meant by becoming a child is that we should be innocent, trusting, forgiving. Children forgive so much. They call it being "resilient." A lot of times children don't even know, even when they are grown, that they were abused by their parents or whomever. That is how trusting they are of their parents. I often sigh and ask God to give me more trust of Him. I've been through so much turmoil and evil that it is hard to trust Him. After all, He allowed all that stuff to happen to me when there was no way I could prevent it. But things just are what they are, I tell myself. He allows the world to do whatever (the system). Thomas Jefferson said (as a Deist) that God was like a watch maker: He made the world and then let it go (my term for it). I don't know if Jefferson believed that God intervenes much through our prayer? I have always wanted to read a book on one of our greatest presidents. But of course the Word tells us to pray incessantly (Thessalonians) [/QUOTE]
