As a Child

Jesus talked about having a child's faith. I think I'm starting to learn how to believe and ask and seek forgiveness in simplicity- without getting distracted by theological lenses, without looking at the Lord through theological ideas, but just as my loving Father. Not that it was a problem before, but I'm learning to better see and better put into practice what before was more of an idea. I'm not very good at it and I'm not very consistent with it, but I'm getting a glimmer.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan's darts at me are hurled,
For Faith has caught the joyful sound-
The song of Saints on higher ground.

At Home in Mitford, a novel about Father Tim, offers a picture of one kind of childlike faith.
