Children have about them a sense of wonder and awe. I had a man come into my office several years ago. He had it all……talent, looks, personality. I felt myself being almost jealous of him. 

As he sat down, however, I could tell that he was deeply troubled. He began by saying: “Do you know what my problem is? I have lost the child within me. I am doing well financially.  I am sophisticated, I am businesslike, I am calculating, and I am also miserable. I don’t trust anyone anymore.”

Somewhere along the line I suppose many of us lose the child within us. Karl Barth, one of the world’s pre-eminent theologians, has said: “God’s world can be experienced only in wonder. 

“The Christian should be struck by wonder about his or her own being. We ought to have a sense of wonder about the world, about one another, and about all of humanity.”

Thanks to Brett Blair for sharing. 

What sense of wonder did YOU have as a child that YOU no longer have today? When did YOU lose it and why did YOU lose it? 

WHEN YOU LOSE SIGHT OF THE GOD OF MIRACLES, YOU STOP EXPERIENCING THE MIRACLES OF GOD!
