Out of the Mouth of Babes

His name is Isaac.
He's three years old.
He's my grand-nephew.
A few days ago, his mother facebooked one of his cute but profound statements:
"I am not the One True God.  I am the One True Isaac."
He's learned something that some people never learn in a lifetime!
Both short sentences contain major truths.
When realized in tandem (in partnership or conjunction) and in their fullness,
these truths WILL set us free! 
I've practiced saying it aloud lately--
"I am not the One True God.  I am the One True Rebecca."
Just about every time I say it,  
I "see" something new about Him or about myself.
Try it! See what YOU discover...

  1. It sort of gives one a little boost of confidence and realization that God made us all to be special in our own ways. It is amazing what children say. Eye opening at times really. Love Di ♥

    1. I so agree, Di! And He's God....I'm not. And SO much more.

  2. I love it, what a great truth for a small boy to recognize, now if adults only would.

  3. God has plans for a boy who learns those truths as this tender age. OK, I tried it and I am going to expect His truths to become more evident in my life every day! Very encouraging! Thank you.
    Blessings~

    1. 'Course one of the first things that came to MY mind was, "He's God and I'm NOT!"

  4. Yes, Rebecca, that's the first thing that came into my head too! And, there is something so reassuring about that reminder to me. Every time I'm in a tizzy about some situation going on in my life, and fretting over how to 'fix' things or make them better, I finally come to the realization that He's God and I'm not! And I find that life runs much more smoothly if I take a step back and 'let go and Let God'.
    I'll pray on the situation, and I'll get out of the way, and I'll give God room to work His miracle.
    Love and Prayers,
    Eileen

  6. Very profound indeed! Sometimes the statements of children are so unclouded by the mess that distracts us adults.

  7. I'm thinking it's probably a good thing there's only one true me! What a mess of grace I am, and therein, I find the beauty.

    Lovely thought.

    1. Once again, I "swim" in the depth of your words - "What a mess of grace I am...and therein...the beauty."
