Welcome to Day 1648 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Childlike Person – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! We are on Day 1648 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from Aldous Huxley, and it is: A childlike person is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, they are a person who has given themselves a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle age habit and convention.
A Childlike Person
As children, we are endlessly curious and willing to explore anything that comes into our path. Unfortunately, as we experience life, depending on how many restraints are placed on us as we are developing, most people lose their natural curiosity and wonder for life. For the most part, our school systems do not foster creativity and a chance to learn based on our innate personalities but attempt to conform us into a structure that is not natural for most children. Parents and grandparents need to make sure that their children are given permission and encouraged to learn and grow without stifling them. Yes, I realize that we have to protect our children and grandchild from harm, but in far too many cases, we overcompensate to the point where we don’t allow them to fulfill their God-given potential. As our children grow into adulthood, we need to teach them to mature and be responsible without being muffled into the cocoon of middle-age habits and convention. We as adults need to take off the shackles that have been placed on us and open up the curiosity and creativity that has been repressed deep within us. There is a significant difference between having childlike faith, curiosity, and wonder and being childish. Being childish as adults manifest itself as selfishness and irresponsibility. Jesus Christ fully understood this childlike faith when he blessed the children as written in Luke 18:15-17- One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
