There is one thing that I hate the most in life; Routine! Someone once told me that working is a form of “life imprisonment” or at least the term serves up to the age of 55 years old. When a person steps into the working world, he/she would have to take another step to maturity. It depends on how big or how small the step is. Nevertheless, the step still needs to be taken. The boy will grow up to be a man and the girl will grow to be a lady. There are those who are eager to spread their wings and leave the nest. They are just too eager to get to the working world to get the opportunity to earn their own wages and to have a total “control” over their own life or at least in the terms of “financial independence”. Whereas there are those on the other end of the pendulum. People like me, it is quite an oxymoron as I do have the love to do what I do in my work but yet there are times I dread going to work. However, over time this routine life has taken a toll over me. Time has become an important factor for me. Time is of essence. It does not only take a toll on my physical state yet it does indirectly affect my spirituality. When we are all grown up and assuming that we are already an adult our ego level tend to grow proportionately with our age. The older we get, the bigger our heads become.

Jesus once said that if we would want to enter the kingdom of Heaven then we should have faith like children. Don’t you realize that the older we get the more skeptical we become and the less faith we have? We ought to think more on the realistic perspective and the possible outcome of each action. Unlike when we were much younger we were much bolder in our actions and do not have much regard for the consequence of any decision taken, as the saying goes “Brawns more than Brains”. Sometimes, it’s our pride that prevents us from seeking the Lord or sometimes it’s just that we don’t believe that He is able to anything. Our problems or doubts may be too great for God to understand. Well, that a look at the nature. Do you understand the wonders of the sky? The anatomy of the birds? The phenomenal effects of the storm? The depths of the earth? You and I may not truly comprehend but He knows the inside out of everything. Or there may questions that blind your eyes and your thoughts? Why the death? Why the loss? Where is the justice? Once again, You and I may not know the reasons behind these questions but yet He knows.

Perhaps it’s time for us to place all those ego & doubts at the feet of Jesus. Let us sit by His feet and come to Him with the Faith like a Child (Matthew 18:2-4).

Dear God, surround me as I speak,
the bridges that I walk across are weak
Frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear.

Dear God, don't let me fall apart
you've held me close to you
I have turned away and searched
for answers I can't understand.

They say that I can move the mountains
And send them falling to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe with Faith Like a Child

Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can't see your face
I wonder if I've grown to lose the
recklessness I walked in light of you

They say that love can heal the broken
They say that hope can make you see
They say that faith can find a Savior
If you would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child
