humble thoughts

I have had some quiet time and I have been seeking..

                Thinking of God walking among us with the Creation..Jesus..mystery of mysteries...near me..

   

                             maybe..

                                           ..thoughts of a young boy in Israel..

          There He is..

            

                      I can only catch a glimpse of Him..this Rabbi.. when His disciples are not blocking my view...

                    I am only eight years old..memorizing scriptures as I am immersed in the Torah ...learning from my father..

      I 've heard of miracles....healing...

                            and there He is ..

    oh that I could be with Him Today..but I have so much to learn before I can Go..years..

                               .. and I so long for the day that I can stand with Him..this Rabbi  Jesus ...and listen..learn and tend to Him..like those men who are with Him now..

   

        what are they talking about.......

                            

                                        wait..those men that are with Him are parting..looking at me..

He is looking at me!

                                                    He is calling to me!! asking me to come near Him...His hand is reaching toward me, as He beckons me to come...He wants me near Him!!!!....

                                                                          

 And God walked among us with the Creation, Jesus, seeing this child... the heart of this child..

                                           I have spent much time with this passage of late...

Matthew 18

 ²He called a little child and had him stand among them. ³And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

                       

   

                            Coming of age Today..and knowing the Humility of being in His presence...can be far removed from that of a young Jewish boys years of 8..

       

  but then .. how badly is it that you want to learn...

                                                    ..to approach this Teacher, as your purpose in life...

                                                            He who calls the humble 'the greatest in the kingdom of heaven'    

              Find yourself too busy with other 'stuff' ....

                                                               

                                     ...cluttering the path that leads through the parted disciples..

                                                                                                       to the nearness of Jesus?  

            

                                                      Maybe..

                                                               before I ask of Him again..for anything..

                                                I have much to learn about being eight in Israel.. when Jesus came to teach.
