Child-like Mannerism with Adult Knowledge

Proverbs 22:6

6 Train up a child in the way he
should go;
even when he is old he will not
depart from it.

When we think of this verse, we often think about children and how we should properly raise them, but what about what WE learned as children? What about the Godly values and manners we were brought up with, and may have strayed away from? As adults, we make choices and we are often hardened or may change due to our experiences, but should that change our values, hopes, dreams? Does your way of thinking line up with the way u were taught or how God wants u to be? Have we forgotten the ability to give 2nd chances, dream, or imagine and receive the impossible bc the world has made us cold? Let's go back to our child-like values and remember to embrace our kindness, remember the innocence of life, and dare to dream and implement the "impossible." Let's show manners, be loving, and care the way a child cares for everyone regardless to their background. Of course, don't take advantage or be taken advantage of, but that doesn't mean we should forget about the ability to be loving and conveniently forget the golden rule. God wants us to come to Him as little children, so don't be afraid to remember how to do that by taking a stroll down memory lane.
