"I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God's kingdom.
Jesus in Matthew 18:2-4, MSG

God] wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you're always young in his presence
Psalm 103:3, MSG

Writer G. K. Chesterton once wrote, It may be that [God] has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.

@newhopecalgary I find it extremely hypocritical of christans to praise god for giving you something and not insult him if he takes it away. If god gives life then it is also god who takes life away.

@thejoebuck86

I agree that God both gives life and takes it away, everything lives and everything dies. But I don't see any reason to insult God, sometimes be angry or confused about what has happened but no need to be insulting. I've been to many joyous funerals, but a tragedy is hard to understand.

@newhopecalgary A person dies because of old age, disease, or they get killed.

[newhopecalgary]

@nicoleca0427 Ture, but it is not always when we want it to happen, we miss those who leave us, it hurts and we often don't understand why it had to happen.

@thejoebuck86

Not sure where you got that idea from but it does seem a bit off don't you think? Jesus is the giver of life, new life. :)

God is young because he sucks the life out of every baby he kills.
