Childlike Joy & Freedom

“Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest one in heaven’s kingdom realm.” Matthew‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

But when you choose to be cheerful, every day will bring you more and more joy and fullness.” Proverbs‬ ‭15:15‬ ‭TPT‬‬

{Visual} Papa leans in close “Shhhh, your secret is safe with me. You have permission to be childlike and full of wonder. {Visual} Papa winks and giggles. “We both know the truth!”

I understand; it’s easy to get wrapped up in the world around you. One moment you’re living in childlike wonder, and the next, you feel like you should act more like a grown-up. So you find yourself “adulting” in my presence instead of living from the beauty of the childlike wonder that fills your heart. My child, you’re free to be yourself with me—full of life, joy and wonder. Continue to drink in joy, love, and peace. Enjoy this place of freedom, laughter, and unending joy that you’ve found in me. Protect it, and don’t allow anything to rob you of your birthright—freedom and joy belong to you!

Drink in joy

Laugh boldly

Dance wildly

Live Freely

Enjoy Life
