Following Jesus Like a Child

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day journey exploring what it truly means to follow Jesus through the lens of a child’s faith. In the Gospels, Jesus often pointed to children as examples of qualities we all need to follow Him well: humility, trust, dependence, and openness. Children, with their simple and sincere hearts, model the kind of faith that invites us to approach God not as self-sufficient adults, but as those deeply reliant on His grace and love.

Following Jesus means more than just knowing about Him. It requires a heart that trusts completely—even when life is uncertain—and a willingness to come to Him with humility, laying down pride and self-reliance. Children don’t justify themselves or compare themselves with others; they simply accept their need for their parents and rely on their care. Similarly, Jesus asks us to embrace a childlike faith that rests fully in Him, continually learning and growing in His love.

Throughout the next seven days, we will reflect on the unique ways children teach us about faith and following Jesus. From Jesus’ words on welcoming children, to the call to become like them, to walking in joy and trust, this plan will encourage you to deepen your walk with Christ, letting go of adult complexities and embracing simple, powerful dependence on Him.

As we journey together, may your heart be opened to experience Jesus not only as Savior and Teacher but as a gentle Shepherd guiding His little ones. 💕🙏
