3 Nephi 9:22 -- On Childlike Salvation

"Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God. Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved."
3 Nephi 9:22


The idea of going before God as a little child seemed really refreshing today.  It is easy to get frustrated and snarky, or cynical and stressed with all the things going on in the world.  Of course kids get frustrated too, but the idea behind going to God as a child is that idea of purity and hope and absolute sincerity. 

Repenting and turning to God is the way to salvation.  Sometimes, the simplest plans are the best ones. :)

Today, let's try shedding all of the things that we have learned that make it harder to connect with God, and let's go before him with zero justifications, zero defensiveness, and just tell him exactly how we are feeling, and what we are afraid of, and what we want for ourselves, our families, and the world.  He will hear us and bless us as we seek him.
