II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:4
Commence training yourself to enter into the CHILD's psychology. Compared to your FATHER, you are ignorant, dumb, stupid, and helpless. You need must look to Him for your every little care: for your food and raiment, for your health and strength, for the totality of your guidance; with great determination keeping your hand in His every step of the way, refusing – even for a moment – to resort to your own SELFwill.
It might inflate your ego to express yourself as a SELFwilled person and dynamic personality, but which is preferable: the tension and grim rat race together with sorrow, sickness, and death, in contrast to the happy, gurgling child-psychology, held by the Father's
Mighty Hand, knowing perpetually the unspeakable JOY of being the peculiar treasure of the greatest, the richest, the kindest and wisest "Daddy" in all the world?
Or is your ego too great to become that "CHILD" of His?
He waits for His CHILDREN: they are His "sheep who HEAR His Voice and follow Him"! (See Jn. 10:27.)
There can be none of God's KINGdom for you're HERE and NOW – unless that little "CHILD" of His you become – in the fullest sense of that expression.
You must "school" yourself to enter into perpetual dependence on and trust in your Father, even as little children here on earth.
