Just a Thought (NOT OLD) lol

When a child is born, in a small sense, it is perfect. His soul has come directly from heaven and has arrived on Earth in a new infant body. Of course children are sinful, for they lie, they defy their parents, they can become angry and hateful just as adults do. However, their sins are so simple compared to an adult's sins. When a child lies, he isn't lying about cheating on his wife or stealing money; he is most likely going to lie about taking a cookie or not finishing his dinner. Simple things. A child never really means to harm anyone. Well, usually he doesn't. Also, children do not worry about the complicated things adults do. They don't get distracted by so much temptation and addictions as overwhelmingly as adults do. They tend to stay closer to God, since the believe in him as much as their imaginary friend. They perceive the world as a gift from the Lord, and they live their simple, playful lives as if the whole world is a tremendous playground. (Yes Man) ha.
As a child gets older, circumstances, his wishes and wants, his beliefs, his soul--they all change. He is getting older, so his understanding of God's love becomes corrupted through the sins that the world conceals. The worries and the fears surround him. The child is no longer free. He becomes weighed down by guilt and dolefulness for his wrong doings and for all his disappointments. He becomes afraid and hateful as he learns with each passing day of what the world really is.
Now the child is an adult, and he forgets that he came from the heavens above. He probably forgets that he has a soul that is as loving and merciful as God himself. God only appears to be a myth now. The adult grows distant from his lord which causes him to become more singful than he has ever been before. His sins become more serious as they begin to harm all the people who love him the most. The pain and remorse, the regret and the guilt, the loneliness and gloominess; they all eat him away. They eat his soul away. And therefore he becomes soulless. He becomes lost. All his dreams, all his hopes, all his beliefs; they are crushed! Only until he remembers...
Whether it's attending a service of church, a call from a friend, and old photo, an old childhood memory; there is going to be some type of Wake Up call. Within this sudden realization, God is reaching out for his child as the young man lies helplessly on the ground. Through this Wake Up call, God is pulling the man to his feet and carrying him back to the path the man used to follow as a child. All the worries, all the sadness--it's all gone. All the pain and loneliness--Gone. The man remembers the feeling he had as a child. He remembers he came from heaven and that he has a soul that shines so bright. He remembers who he is supposed to be. All his dreams and hopes are revived. Strength is restored within him. The world is no longer a prison, but it is a playground once again. The Man is Free.
