The faith God desires begins with childlike trust.
Do little kids have great theological faith? Do they have the capacity to exercise their believing muscles? The answer is absolutely not. But what they have instilled in their DNA is their amazing ability to trust.
And, of course, little children are the best receivers! If Christmas and birthdays were every day, they would shout... Yay!
Little children's ability to simply believe and receive what is promised makes them the greatest in God's Kingdom (Matthew 18:1-5).
So, considering all of this, I believe that God wants to restore our ability to trust Him. I even think He wants to restore the childlike trust we all had as newborns because little children can believe in ways that grown-ups never could.
And that, my friends, is the faith our Father wants us to have.
