The Mystery of Seeking and Being Made Whole

[Grasshopper]

Matthew 18: 2-6

2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. 6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.


Seeking our Father, as a child, has mostly been a mystery to me, for the longest time, until recently. I love my Father, and in that, I have had to search for someone who has been missing for most of my life.
Me.
My inner child, lost and afraid for so much of my life. I have had to keep my inner child hidden, in a "protect at all cost" mode.

In keeping my inner self hidden, I have lost out on so much over the years. Many times, I questioned our Heavenly Father, due to my misunderstanding of His ways.

In speaking of my inner self I am not speaking of new age beliefs..
it is that spirit of this little girl, who was lost, a long time ago, due to sin, of another.

I began walking in His love, truly, in June 2002, when someone special, came to me to teach me G-ds ways, and His love, for me! All of me. And, it has been a healing process, to get to where I am today. Who healed me? My Father healed me. I am just beginning to understand this mystery.

Though I have not become all that G-d has instore for me, in my walk, it is a journey.... and in His perfect timing, the little child within me, will rise up, in faith, and be all for my Father, as I can be....in His love, for His love.

May He be forever glorified.
In His love, Grasshopper

"What does this child need?"


What does this child need?
she started out as G-ds' precious seed
to be planted in this world, as daddys' little girl

The sin that came in this land
took the innocent by the hand
now this child, she understands

What does this little girl need?
what does she need, for her to succeed?
you to help her stand on her 2 feet
and take her gently to G-d, to meet

What does this child need,
maybe a bowl of warm love, on which to feed
a touch of the Fathers' love, to plant a new seed

What does this child need, or doesn't it matter
That with sins' first touch,
her young heart splattered?

There are many seeds we can be sowing
seeds of rage, seeds of love,
seeds of darkness & seeds of knowing

Matthew 19:14 (amplified)
Jesus said: Leave the children alone! Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid or hinder or restrain them, for such (as these) is the kingdom of heaven composed.
