sometimes I wish to be a kid again
Jesus was simpler during that time
for now I see we made a mess of Him
trying we are to place human limits
sometimes we seek to win God’s favor
because we feel bad about feeling good
thinking too much about it lead us away
from receiving it like candy to a child
someones are not transfigured right away
we want God to work on our terms
yet we can’t do that our very selves
our ideal of failure is God taking His time
someones push God away with science
when it should only bring child’s wonder
madly we use His words as weapons
sadly this show we’re missing the point
someday we will discover God’s un-shallowness
then we can stop trying to dazzle Him
and also figure out gifts to be gifts
determined not by personal virtue
someday we will accept His grace
not just in theory but in practice
like an unself-conscious child
taking what is given freely
sometimes I wish someones to be a kid again
