When we trust God, we are not surrendering to chaotic forces or blind chance. We are surrendering to love. And that act of surrender allows us to be caught in an embrace that will never let us go.

For the kingdom of heaven is one of life, of belonging and meaning, not of alienation. Therefore, Jesus calls the child to stand among these resource-obsessed disciples, and he says, “Unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 18:3).
