Breaking the bread of christ
"I took my daughter Andrea on a walk some time ago. She was four and curious, so we went to explore our neighbouthood. "Let's cover some new territory," I suggested. Off we went, striding confidently out of the safe harbor of our cul-de-sac and stepping into unknown regions.
Captain Kirk would have been proud.
The area was brand new to her. We walked down streets she'd never seen and petted dogs she'd never touched. Virgin territory. Wilderness wanderings. The yards were different. The kids looked older. The houses looked bigger.
I thought all the change might trouble her. I thought the new sights and sounds might generate anxiety.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Sure."
"Do you know where we are?"
"No."
"Do you know how to get home?"
"No."
"And you aren't worried?"
Without slowing her pace she reached up and took my hand and said, "I don't have to know how to get home. You already do."
Sometimes when god put us in new territories, we are fearful of the unknown because we do not have faith in God. Through this, we became skeptical is God journeying together with us in these unchartered territories. But God wants us to cast aside all these doubts in our heart and to learn to trust him instead. Just like what Andrea did in the story. She was exploring unknown territories with her father and her dad asked whether does she know how to go home herself and her reply was a no. She simply trusted her dad that he knew the way home. Brothers and sisters in christ, Jesus wants us to be like children to simply trust in him as said in Matthew 19:14 But jesus said, 'Let the little children alone, and do not stop them from coming to me; for it is such as these that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs.'
