How does God reveal himself to us? For me, faith has been something that I have personally struggled with. However, one day, we were on vacation and we were walking. Conner was four at the time, and he ran ahead of us. I saw a man approach him to hand out religious material, and when I got to them, I heard the man ask Conner, "Brother are you saved?" Conner looked him in the eye and said, "I know God." Conner just walked away from the man, and I was amazed. How could a four-year-old have the knowledge and faith to say that when his father, who was thirty could not? I pondered it for a long time. 

The concept of God revealing himself to me remained a mystery. However, God again showed me the way. When Bryce was four, he asked us for another baby. He wanted us to talk to God about it. We told him that we could pray to God and ask, but that we didn't just talk to God. With his big blue eyes, he looked at us and said "Well God talks to me." And lo and behold, six years later, we had a baby! Again, the faith and belief of a four-year-old amazed me.  

The daily struggles of the world continue to make it difficult for me to see the many different ways that God reveals himself, but I now realize that he reveals himself to us all of the time in different ways and places. For me, God reveals himself through the eyes of children. Their faith, their belief, their innocence, and their honesty when it comes to it all shows me that God reveals himself to those that are not "wise and intelligent," but to the infants.  The children know God.  They know his love for them. They are in awe of his grace and they feel his presence with them. They, unlike me, do not feel the need to question it.  

Seeing their faith, and the way God reveals himself to them, strengthens my faith. Working with the children over the last couple of years at St. Anne's has helped me come closer to God. When he reveals himself to them, he reveals himself to me.
