The Crosswalk Devotional: A Daily Devotional Chris... - Restore Your Childlike Wonder

In Mark 10:14, Jesus welcomes children and reminds His followers that the kingdom of God belongs to those who come to Him like little children. As adults, it’s easy to let worry, disappointment, and the pressures of life harden our hearts and weaken our sense of wonder. But God invites us to remember that we are His children and that we can approach Him with the same trust, openness, and dependence that a child has toward a loving parent.

Highlights

• Discover what Jesus teaches about childlike faith in Mark 10:14 and why children are an example of trust and dependence on God.

• Explore how adult responsibilities, anxiety, and difficult circumstances can cause you to lose your sense of wonder.

• Learn how simple activities, outdoor adventures, and time spent enjoying creation can help restore everyday joy.

• Understand how trusting God like a child can strengthen your faith when circumstances seem impossible.

• Find practical ways to make life less self-focused by serving others, giving generously, and encouraging people in your community.

• Discover how honest prayer and complete surrender can help you approach God as a loving Father.

• Reflect on one meaningful way to restore your childlike wonder and grow in faith, joy, and trust in Jesus.
