Childlike Faith
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Run without worrying about obstacles
She’s so excited to have the freedom to run that she runs without considering the obstacles
Remember when you first got saved, how free you felt
1 Corinthians 9:24 “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”
Philippians 3:12–16 “Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”
Hebrews 12:1 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”
Give everything to your father
She’s never carried anything in her life she didn’t want to
If she doesn’t want to carry something she just gives it to her father
1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
Knows where to run when your hurt
She’s knows exactly where to run if she’s hurt
If shame keeps you from running to the Father when you’re hurt then you may not have a good view of who the Father really is
1 Peter 5:7 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
No worries as long as she can see her father
As long as she can see her father she has peace
When she can’t see her father she starts to get into things she shouldn’t
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: Be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
