Child of God

Sometimes this world is too heavy, too difficult to bear 
And I think back to when things were simple and I didn't have a care
I think for a moment how nice it would be to be a kid again
But I realize that I am a child of God, of the Great I Am

He wants me to kneel at His feet and cast all my cares on Him
He asks that I come to Him for peace and healing from within
He wants me to trust that He works all things for my good
And that He is working things out for me as only He could

It's no wonder that when I'm older, I need to be like a kid
And sit at the feet of Jesus, remembering all that He did
He has provided for me again and again, and has made His presence known
He's not done with me yet, He has a plan, and His goodness will be shown

He is my Father, my Heavenly One who knows how I fret and fear
He created me to rely on Him and to know He is so near
I don't need to control or figure out all life's moving parts
But rather rely on my Jesus who will calm my mind and heart.

  1. I often think back of when I was a child and how God was always there. Now I know why He said, “Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Mt. 18:2 ❤️
