What beauty transcends in the innermost depths of a soul and heart when light pierces the darkness. When a soul awakes to find it's purpose, find it's meaning. When a soul is opened and the Light changes it, changes it to be recognized and "called His own". When a soul awakes to the understanding of "true love", of pure love. The naivety of his young mind will keep him from fully understand, fully grasping the entirety of his Creator's love, of his Creator's sacrifice. The beauty lies in the reality that his Creator doesn't require full grown knowledge. He doesn't require blemish free. "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise..." Psalm 8:2.
See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
Matthew 18:10
He calls them into his heart. He whispers quiet and gentle words of promise, of peace, of redemption into their tiny minds. He draws them in.
That has been my prayer all nights as he rests his head. "Draw him close to your heart. Show him glimpses of the promises that you have for his life. For the beauty. Help his mind understand, even at this young age, show him his purpose - to worship you."
I sat and prayed with him, because I'm his mama, but he reassured me that he'd already, "in my mind (while tapping his head with his finger in a very matter of fact way) told Jesus he can have my heart. A while ago."
Thank you Jesus, for the chorus of welcome that burst forth in celebration of this child's prayer, of his heart. Thank you for the beginning of his life as you intended it to be.
