These are three attributes children have which we should take on as well. If you walk in these attributes, you will see improvements in your health, outlook, and fruitfulness. By The SPIRIT Peter wrote in his first epistle chapter 1:
22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,
23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.
Innocence is gained by purification of the soul. The old man must die and behold all things are new and innocent. Our purity is legally and morally attained as we accept the Blood of Christ and no longer live the path of the old man. We must not let the ego rise up and continually condemn us of our past for all have fallen short of HIS Glory but we have been lifted up out of the pit and have been selected to sit in Heavenly places with HIM, by HIM, and through HIM.
In Mark chapter 4, Jesus spoke a parable concerning the Word of GOD:
20 “But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
Those who fully accept FATHER’S Word and instruction are going to bear fruit. We can analyze the various returns but even thirtyfold would be an improvement over zero. A child enjoys even the smallest improvements and is grateful for any opportunity to arise. We must purpose to be good ground and enter into our “prayer closets” which is any quiet place separated from distractions brought on by the world.
Forgiveness among children comes quickly for they have not learned to hold a grudge. Their egos have not been developed to take over their thoughts and actions as it has with adults. We must become quick to forgive and understand FATHER will rectify any situation we find our self in that needs intervention. We must not live in the past where acts have occurred which caused the seeds of unforgiveness to be planted. We must remove any bitterness or resentment from our midst. In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus spoke:
14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Once you are forgiven, blessings are released to come upon you. FATHER cannot bless you if you cannot forgive your brother for his offenses. This is why it is critical to embrace the revelation of Love in all areas of our lives and as we do, we break any yoke which would prevent the fullness of our calling from coming forth. This purity of innocence, acceptance and forgiveness is fundamental to our walking the narrow path. In Matthew chapter 18 Jesus spoke:
Clearly greatness in the Kingdom isn’t determined by our intellect, advanced studies, or physical ability. Study young children and they may teach us a thing or two.
