Jesus tells us,
"Become like a child."
The child--
in innocence--
does not attempt to be
anything other
than what they are.
They naturally pursue,
not self-glorification
or self-expansion,
but self-fulfillment.
And we adults?
"Become like children"
and allow the growth
meant for us by God,
not the one designed
by our ambitious egos.
