The Awe of a Child

The Awe of a Child

Give me the awe of a child
The determination to go all in
Along with the strength of an ox
Show me how to begin

Teach me I am made for this
For challenges yet concealed
Hide me in the cleft of the Rock
Where Your Glory is revealed

Show me again the snapshots
Of the God inside of me
Let glee with wonder and excitement gush
Never tire, surrender willingly

I know what I believe
Like a child oblivious to the trial
Keep me focused on You Lord Jesus
Mile after very long mile

Yes, give me the wonder of a child
Tackling obstacles ahead
Never intimidated by the challenge
Or peering through a sense of dread

Yes, that awe invoking desire
To make it no matter what
The place where champions arise,
Refuse to quit and never give up

Understanding we were brought forth and born for this very season can be frightening or exciting; possibly both. Steady yourself as you go. While watching your steps you may lose sight of the destiny however your God given destiny hasn’t lost sight of you, and never will. The struggle may dim your vision, attempting to conceal the destiny, remember it is part of the training. The anticipation of the final destination makes it impossible to quit. You were born for this. Pray. Faith is just fear that has said its prayers. Keeping our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12:1-8

May we never doubt…

“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you”
‭‭(Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭TPT).‬‬

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

Until next time, thank you for listening with me. Laurette

  1. “The anticipation of the final destination makes it impossible to quit. You were born for this. ”
    That concept (and it is in children) is so needed laurette, yet freely given by God’s spirit within us.
