Life has a way of hardening hearts, dimming once-solid faith with the weight of sadness and difficulty. But what if we could see the world through the eyes of a child again?
Meet Sam, a lonely and sad child on the playground. It's not until he speaks with the Shepherd that he realizes just how heavy the burden he's carrying truly is. Maybe you can relate. Maybe today you feel the weight of life and the distance of the Father.
Through simple trust, Sam softly nudges grown-up hearts weighed down by sadness and difficulty, and helps us find our way back to our faith. His childlike innocence reminds us of a God who has never forgotten us and is always near, patiently waiting for us to come close.
This poignant story invites us to rediscover the joy of trusting God-not because life is easy, but because the Good Shepherd leads us and loves us ever step of the way.
"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." -Matthew 18:3.
