How God views us
As a human father to his sired children
By Tim Trainor
Click here to read Tim Trainor's reflection from March 1, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
The "childlike" attitude Jesus encourages is not about naivety or childishness, but about a complete dependence on God. A willingness to trust and receive love without conditions, and a genuine openness to learning and being guided. Thus, Mark teaches how children model the correct attitude for belonging to the Kingdom of God.
Tim Trainor’s reflections: He said to him, “Follow me.” And leaving everything behind, he got up and followed him. (Luke 5:27)
Our tears of joy tell us everything
"That they might glory in the wonder of his deeds and praise his holy name" Sirach 17:10.

Those more curious than fully invested in following Christ also qualify as belonging to him. They may trail from far, far away, equipped with very little knowledge of Jesus. They will still find themselves hovering under his wing.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
