A child knows no fear. The little boy trusts that his dad will catch him when he leaps.
Fear is a learned concept. And when God calls us to be like a child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:1-5), I believe that one of the things he is referring to is a child´s faith.
Faith is a natural part of a child´s makeup. She has not learned to fear and so the choice to trust is an automatic one.
As adults, we have learned of evil, and have become mistrusting, fearful of what may happen. The choice to fear becomes more automatic than a choice of faith.
However, we can reverse that. The more often we choose faith, the more automatic that choice becomes. Our trust in God grows and we return to having faith like a child.
Today, and every day, I encourage you to choose faith—in the small decisions of everyday life. It is a choice to fear. And starting today, we can choose faith.
