How to Be Childlike Before God

The other night after small group, I experienced the cutest thing: The daughter of one of our members, who reminds me of a blonde, blue-eyed version of Boo from Monsters Inc.

I’ve been thinking about how God wants—no, actually, requires that we somehow go to Him like her.

Hate: Sometimes it feels about as fun as trying on bathing suits one size too small. I feel not enough.
