There are moments in motherhood that stop you in your tracks. One of those moments for me is when Azalea looks at me with those innocent eyes and says,
“Mama, I don’t want to grow up. I want to be a kid forever.”
Or when she sighs and whispers, “Mama, I wish I was still a tiny baby.”
Every time she says it, I pull her close and remind her:
“You will forever be my baby, no matter how old you get. You can always come to me with anything your joys, your fears, your dreams, or even the tears you can’t explain. I am your protector, your comfort, and your confidant.”
And in that sacred exchange between mother and child, I am reminded of something even deeper who God is to us.
Childlike Trust in the Kingdom
As children, trust comes naturally. Our little ones don’t hesitate to lean into us, to depend on us, to cry out knowing we will hear and respond. But somewhere along the way, adulthood hardens us. Life piles on responsibility, disappointment, and fear. We become hesitant. Guarded. Slow to trust.
And yet, Jesus Himself calls us back to that childlike faith:
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:3
A child doesn’t question whether their parent will provide. They simply believe. They don’t overanalyze the “how.” They just know love is enough.
So why is it so hard for us, grown and weary, to do the same with our Heavenly Father?
God, Our Eternal Protector
When Azalea tells me she wishes she were still a tiny baby, it’s because babies don’t carry the weight of the world. They rest. They receive. They are cared for, protected, and loved without condition.
Isn’t that exactly what God offers us?
Psalm 46:1 reminds us:
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Just as I want my daughter to know she can run to me at any moment, God desires that same surrender from us. He longs for us to let go of control and trust that He will carry us through uncertainty, through valleys, through battles unseen.
Dynasty Living: Surrender as Strength
The KNg Dynasty brand is built on legacy, strength, and the courage to stand tall in a world that often feels unsteady. But true strength in the Kingdom doesn’t always look like the fight. Sometimes, it looks like surrender.
It looks like saying:
“Lord, I don’t have to grow up in my own strength. I can remain forever Your child. I can lean on You, run to You, and trust You with the parts of life I don’t understand.”
Letting go isn’t weakness it’s Dynasty strength. Because when we release our grip, we discover the unshakable grip of God’s hand holding us.
A Call to Return
Azalea may one day outgrow her dolls, her tiny shoes, her childhood room. But she will never outgrow being my baby. And you will never outgrow being God’s child.
So, what would change in your life if you trusted God with the same abandon that a child trusts their parent? What weight could you finally lay down if you truly believed He’s got you?
The answer is not found in growing harder, but in softening. Not in resisting, but in resting. Not in carrying more, but in letting God carry you.
Because just like I whisper to Azalea, He whispers to you today:
“You will forever be My child.”
✨ Dynasty Reflection:
To live the KNg Dynasty way means carrying heritage, faith, and strength into every moment. But above all, it means remembering we are heirs of a Kingdom where childlike trust is not weakness it is the foundation of true greatness.
