In the story below, there is a gift Amit gave Yeshua/Jesus. But the gift was not the contents of the basket. It was something far more precious to Yeshua.
It was her faith.
A child's faith can be so pure and unquestioning. That is how we can convince them that magic, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny exists. As we grow older, we question, we doubt and we put so much to the test before us - including our faith.
How hard it is for an adult to become a child, to simply accept things wholeheartedly, without questioning how something is to be, without the fear and doubt that fills our minds as adults.
But when we approach God as children, wide-eyed to see the wonders, without question... then we once again have a child's grace to step away from the doubt and the fear that fills our heads and blinds us.
I'm not saying live life with a blindfold on and be a sucker to every person who tries to take advantage of fools.
But when we fear to believe, when we question every little thing, and doubt every little wonder... then we also doubt ourselves. We become deeply mired by our doubts and fears and leave ourselves with no way to pull ourselves free. We stop progressing.
But when we let go of the doubts, questions and fears and place all our trust in God's hands, then we present the gift of our faith as well. And it's amazing what can truly unfold before our eyes.
