To be a child of God. Adults can learn from children’s behavior.

Even today, let’s start with the proverb: “There has not yet been born one who would suit everyone”. of his fellows: We whistled to you, and you did not dance; we lamented, and you did not weep” (Mt 11:16-17).

Another proverb instructs us as follows: “Whoever wants to fight, always finds a stick”. So it is in this case too, whoever wants to oppose the truth, always finds an excuse to avoid the truth. At that time, no one knew how to speak to the Jews to their heart’s content. , because they did not want to submit to the truth. Christ’s silence and mildness did not suit them. John’s severity did not suit them either.

The deeds of John the Baptist are pleasing to God. John, with his strictness, represented the relentlessness and harshness of the Old Testament, while the Lord Jesus, with his mildness and kindness, represents the good of the New Testament. Both ways were wise and fair. After the feast of the Sending of the Holy Spirit, we can be guided by the Holy Spirit, who helps us with his gifts, if only we ask for them. The seven gifts also include the gift of wisdom and the gift of understanding. We should ask for these gifts so that we do not become like the Jews whom Jesus rebukes.

Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are to live in the constant presence of God and fulfill his will, which is hidden in his commands and words. Our lives will grow and be enriched daily for the future reward that we all long for and that God will personally give us on the day of our meeting. We are not all the same. We have to know our pros and cons. To consider the circumstances in which we live so that we can fulfill the will of God. Not everyone who has healthy ears can listen correctly and well. For this, he needs goodwill, but also a motive to enrich him. People often approach life like children approach entertainment. And we know that life is often a harsh reality. A child does not pay bills for fun. Our life will one day be subject to strict control, where every mindset will be revealed, and where every manifestation of our common will and reason will be evaluated. We know that when a child is immersed in a game, he devotes himself to it with such enthusiasm,

What does this mean for us? If we approach our duties as believing Christians with a sincere heart, we will share them with someone or something, so even the difficulties will become easier and our meeting with God in our duties, we will not take as a burden, a burden, but it will turn into something, which will bring satisfaction both mentally and physically.

It’s a pity that we lack the purity of a child’s thinking, which does not know falsehood, pretense, hypocrisy, and sin. What impoverishes our life?
