Like Little Children, Touching This World
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom. What's more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it's the same as receiving me.
Matthew 18:2-5
A community of spiritual children giving birth to other communities of spiritual children and becoming a network of communities of spiritual children, then joining with other networks of communities of spiritual children until those networks begin to live and move more like one childlike spiritual community - the Body of Christ around the world.
Not invisible and not silent, but nameless and faceless other than His own.
Beginning to respond to God all over the globe, beginning to live and move as one in His Spirit like a school of fish or a flock of birds.
Not identical, but one. Like little children, barely noticing the differences but revelling together in the shared wonder of the Journey.
Like little children, breathing out regret for yesterday and concern for tomorrow, and breathing in the exhilarating hope of today living fully and well in the midst of our Father's kindness.
Trusting enough in the Destination and the One who takes us There to put down our fear and become Love.
Like little children, touching this world.
