God loves us and has our best interest in mind. He wants us to have a ten-year old heart again that is perfectly content with building and playing and coloring. He wants us to be grounded in the truth that He is going to take care of everything. Everything. Saint Paul reminds us that “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Cor 3:17). And freedom comes from living out our identity as sons and daughters of the Father. When we live as children of God, we do not lose our “grown up” identities. When we embrace childlike trust and surrender, God empowers us to go out and change the world. For He promises, “I will be with you always, until the end of the age” (Mt 28:20).
