Children's letters to God

I went to the wholesale venue of English books in our office complex today, and bumped into 2 little books, one called "Children's letters to God" and the other "Kids talk about Heaven".

In the first one, there is one entry by a little girl called Nora. She wrote thus:

"Dear God,
I don't ever feel alone since I found out about you."

Do I feel alone even after I found out about God?
Well, to be frank, I do.
I always feel lonely, but look what a little girl has to say about loneliness. She never feels lonely again ever since she knew about God.

This is probably part of what the Lord was talking about when He urged us to be like children. They have a very personal way about this whole thing. It's not books, not beliefs, but it's their reality, their life.

Do we feel lonely? Let's learn from the children.
