Becoming like a little Child: Week 5

Choice 3:

Review Matthew 18-3-4 and Doctrine and Covenents 78: 17-18. Explain in writing the ways we are like little children. In these verses how does the Lord say He will help us?

We are very much like little children compared to our Savior and Heavenly Father. They are almighty, they have all knowledge. While we try to discover ourselves here on this earth they already know what and who we will become. This is comparable to a mortal parent to their child. When a little kid wants candy for example, the parent knows when to much be too much. They have a larger scheme of when it is ok to have candy and how much compared to a little child who only understands the desire of candy. The Savior and our Heavenly Father know what is best for us, they know and understand what trials will strengthen us, and essentially develop us to become who we are destined to become. We just need faith in their plan and trust in their care and we will grow up to become God’s and Goddesses like them one day.

The Lord offers help in a variety of ways, they include: leading us along because of our lack of understanding of all things, giving us opportunities to grow and develop in a God like Him, and He will give us humbling experiences that will result in a charitable heart like our Brother and Savior Jesus Christ.

Read Mosiah 3:19 and list ways in which we are to become like little children.

-I am to become patient

-I am willing to submit to all things which the Lord sees fit to inflict upon us, as a child submits to his father
