Been in peadiatrics rotation for 4 weeks now. Seriously, I’m considering it as a carrier option 2nd to General Surgery. Kids are just so wonderful. Even though they are not well, they are jumping around, feeling happy, just playing… It is such a “naïve” yet pure attitude. As long as their parents are there with them, they are comforted! Just sitting at their parents’ lap, hugging them & having their parents carrying them around or sleep with them – that’s enough! They feel safe in their parents’ presence!
What about us? Do we find comfort from our Father in heaven? Or do we seek comfort elsewhere – friends, partners, studies, success, items, video games, tv… Well these stuff offer temporal comfort & relaxation, but do we want something temporal or something eternal? A comfort that will last, that never fades nor empties, that is constantly fresh & overflowing???
2cor1: 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
But this verse says God is a God of compassion – He understands what we go through, what we face, how we feel, how many challenges we have to overcome – He feels for us, & not just that, He has a solution!!! Cause He is a God of all comfort!! The word here is ALL!!! A-L-L!!! This means, He has all the solution!!! All we need to do is be like a child, sit on His lap, embrace Him, rest in His hands, and let Him take your weight, let Him pat your back…
He called us children… but do we acknowledge Him as our Father?

being around kids makes you realize why God always said that we can only enter the kingdom of God with the heart of a child hey. they're simple minded, trusting and dependent - and not ashamed to show it. glad you're enjoying your rotation! :)
