Poets & Saints

Show Notes

A five-minute Christian meditation and lectio divina practice on Matthew 18:3, with words from George MacDonald. Day 8 of the Unseen Existences series.

Scripture Matthew 18:3 (NIV) And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Refrain I am learning to see like a child again.

Quote George MacDonald "To cease to wonder is to fall plumb-down from the childlike to the commonplace — the most undivine of all moods intellectual. Our nature can never be at home among things that are not wonderful to us." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
