Faith like a child

Reading a passage in Mark 10 about childlike faith being a prerequisite to enter the kingdom of God reminded me of once upon a time ago when I was eight years old and had newly come to know Him through Saturdays at church school. I remember this big and gruff yet gentle man Cikgu Yusoff, my then class teacher, who also taught us Pendidikan Moral. He had just taught us about the different religions practiced in Malaysia. After the class I went up to him and after having proudly proclaimed that I was a Christian, oh-so-naively demanded, "Tuhan mana yang betul?", being ever so convinced in my childishness (childlike-ness?) that he would reply Christianity was 'it'. Now on hindsight I cringe to think I had the 'nerve' to ask such a question of a Muslim adult, but in his kindness he had replied to me "Tuhan ada satu sahaja," which is verily so the politically correct answer to give.(= Til this day it warms my heart so and I appreciate his graciousness and sensitivity in not wanting to hurt my feelings or put me down when he could have so easily done so.
