Trust me!\u201d A leap of faith means the child has to put aside all inhibitions and fears. But, no problem. She has child-like faith. That faith that shows all-out, undaunted trust that her Daddy is going to catch her. And she jumps to her beloved Daddy. No fear \u2013 only trust! And sure enough, she lands, safely in her father\u2019s arms. <\/p>\n<p>Remember that kind of trust? We had that trust because of the secure relationship we had with our parents. We completely trusted in their words and promises. Did we ever think our father would miss us, and we would fall? Not hardly. We believed, and we had faith because we trusted in who He was to us. <\/p>\n<p>I know there are those who didn&#8217;t experience the love of a Godly father like this, but I know how we all can know this love. That\u2019s the kind of faith we can, and should, have in our Heavenly Father. Having childlike faith isn\u2019t perfect faith. There&#8217;s room for doubt, but the doubt doesn\u2019t win \u2013 hope, trust and belief prevails! What pleases Him the most is our heart of sincerity that says, \u201cGod, I know You have my best interests at heart. Please bolster my faith in You.&#8221; He answers that kind of prayer. Bottom line, no matter how impossible our situations may seem, if we have that unwavering faith of a child, we believe He can accomplish anything.<\/p>\n<p>And, there is something so precious about the thought of getting to be a child again, and knowing we have a Father who will take care of us. He can bear the burdens of life while we can just enjoy ourselves, like we did when we were children, without having to worry about the nitty gritty details. God will take care of all that. We don\u2019t need to perform, we don\u2019t need to be constantly striving for this or that; the burden is on God\u2019s shoulders &#8212; not ours. I wanna&#8217; live like THAT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daddy says, \u201cJump! Trust me!\u201d A leap of faith means the child has to put aside all inhibitions and fears.
