Your daughter tells her dolly that if she is a good girl and eats all of her food she will have a special treat for dessert. He wants us to pick up God s expressions, and to speak with God s accent. He wants us to walk and talk like God. We understand and yet we struggle with this. Oh we re children, all right.
Daddy is, after all, pretty old-fashioned.
We d rather look like the cool kid next door. We enter the Kingdom as little children but shortly thereafter, we lose our first love. We begin to find our neighbors more interesting than God. I m talking about our own Christian superstars. We have our own favorite authors and our own pet movements.
