Matthew 18:2-4
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
One thing I’ve always loved to do is sing and when I passed my driving test at 18 years of age I wasn’t only delighted to have my independence in travelling around but I was also so happy to have the ability at last to sing my heart out with nobody around to hear me. So I would put the radio up full bung in my car and sing away and one of those songs I remember singing in my first car, my green Ford Fiesta was this Guns N’ Roses Song Sweet Child of Mine.
She's got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

At this time in my life my mum and dad had just separated, and with my mum I had moved to a new village away from the house and town I had been in all my life up until then. Life wasn’t the easiest but this song affirmed me, I cried whilst singing it sometimes, I smiled whilst singing it sometimes and it would be 3 years after the release of this song that I came to know my true and living God and so after that it became for me the song that God shouted out to me in my most painful time. I was, I am His sweet child.
Do you hear him cry out to you!
You are his sweet child and when we turn away from his love he calls,
“Where do you go, where do you go now, where do you go, sweet child of mine?”
