The Dealership We all know the shock of being rear ended by unexpected trials in life, but there is hope! On May 27, 2026, very recently, I was rear ended hard! All kinds of emotions surfaced. I was concerned about the pain I was experiencing, but the emergency room said I had no broken bones, just very sore muscles. Thank God! I had a 2015 vehicle with low mileage that ran great, so I wasn't motivated to seek out another car. Then my car was totaled, therefore I had to go find another one. I found one at the dealership with updated safety features and technology. This prompted me to think of God as the Dealership, as well as being the Creator and Owner. Here people depend on the salesperson and the mechanic to help move about in life. God contains all we need, that is, what people seek can be found in this "dealership".

Indeed, the Architect of Love has built the door into heaven so low that no one, but a small child can pass through it unless to get down to a child's little height, he goes in on his knees. ~ Caryll Houselander
I love this quote because it reminds you and me to be childlike in our spiritual journey. Being like a child means various things:
- To not let go of our wonderful childlike imagination, that is, we can imagine this Divine Architect in so many ways.
- We can use this imagination to play and dance and sing with God.
- To look at the world and creation with the eyes of awe and wonder.
- To be carefree in our hearts, knowing that if we fall, our Divine parent will lift us up and hold us as we cry.
- To make ourselves small, letting our ego go so that our Blessed Creator can fill our souls, that is, to decrease for God to increase in us.
- Just as a child is dependent on their parents, we too become dependent on the Most High. This way, we don't have to carry the weight of life by ourselves.
- Children learn from and imitate their parents. So we too can learn from and try to imitate the love that comes from God our Father/ Mother.
Jesus said that to enter the Kingdom of God we must become like a little child. This is not to become childish or immature, but to be particularly humble and to have trust in God. It is to shed the pride and complexities of adulthood, thus becoming dependant and open to God.
May we all picture ourselves in the arms of our Creator being held tenderly and sung to as we fall asleep. And may we get on our knees to the height of a child and pass through that door that leads us beyond the veil.
Lovely, thank you

DeleteI love the idea you share about becoming childlike. It seems so simple yet we or should I say I struggle to let God be my parent. “ Let go and let God”. I also love your drawing. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLetting go and letting God is a process that begins with the desire to do it. I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks! 😊💛
