Trust of a child

Mark
A child has a much easier time trusting people.  It's somewhat unfortunate that we can't keep that same trust as adults.
Jesus says "Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
This statement brings to mind the trust that we must place in God for our salvation.  Many children understand this right away, but as we grow up, we feel the need to examine this trust.  We test God to see if he really is worthy of the trust.  It is good to examine our beliefs and to make them our own, but at some point, we need to realize we won't get all the proof we were hoping for, and we'll have to take God on faith that he knows what he is doing, just like a child believes that his father knows all.
