As children we grow up and become increasingly independent. But as children of God, it's the other way round. As we grow, we should become increasingly dependent on God.
Like a toddler, a grown-up Christian:
constantly holds his father's hand;
runs to him when he is frightened;
tells him everything;
is always asking his advice;
thinks the world of his daddy and believes everything he says;
never doubts that he will look after him;
asks for help with the little as well as the big things;
tells him his worries and leaves him to sort them out.
Jesus said, "Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven". Matthew 18:3
