Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.Matthew 10:16 (ESV)
Love how this scripture described the wonderful combination of these seemingly contradicting notions: we could easily imagine having growing in wisdom with age, yet this scripture reminds us of the importance of maintaining the innocence and pureness of our heart. This lovely nature reminds us to coach and guide our beloved young ones; we are not only guiding them with wisdom but we are also to appreciate their innocence and pureness.
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your love, for designing us beautifully in a way we have our lessons to learn and to give at different stages of life. We pray for a gentle and curious heart in this process of life and learning, to make us able to love others the way You love us. We pray all these in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
