LIKE A CHILD

some of you may know that my pastor's four-year-old son is currently undergoing treatment for cancer. this past week, he had a bone marrow transplant and the most recent prayer update i received from my pastor was quite inspiring. so i'll share a little snippet of it with you:

Amidst all the discomfort he has felt over the last 2 weeks, we admire our son's endurance and strength. When we told him how sorry we are for the way he feels, "that's ok" he said. He has the simple faith to trust that despite all the pain we have put him through, we are trying to help him get better. He's never doubted our love and he does not complain. Only if we can also learn to trust that God is love and He has been putting us through this painful experience to make us "better"!

And [Jesus] said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
~Matthew 18:3-4~
