🎶 Growing Older, But Never Outgrowing His Love 🎶

Five years ago, I heard a song that changed me. It wasn’t just another melody—it was a voice straight to my heart. Ray Boltz’s “Always Be a Child” hit me deep, and to this day, every time I hear it, something inside me melts.

You see, life makes you feel like you have to grow up, toughen up, figure it out. But then Jesus whispers, “You’ll always be a child in My eyes.” And suddenly, the weight lifts.

I had a conversation with Him about it. Maybe it’s a conversation you’ve needed too:

A Conversation With Jesus: I’ll Always Be Your Child

Me: Jesus… can I talk to You for a moment?

Jesus: Always, My child. What’s on your heart?

Me: It’s funny, Lord. I’ve grown, changed, struggled… But every time I hear that song, it’s like I’m back where I started—just a child in Your arms.

I close my eyes, and suddenly, I’m not this “grown-up” trying to figure life out. I’m just… Yours.

Jesus: Because that’s exactly who you are.

Me: But Lord, I don’t always feel like Your child. Sometimes, I feel like I should have figured things out by now. That I should be stronger, braver, more put together. But then I hear the words—“When you need some love, My arms are open wide…”

And I realize how much I need that love.

Jesus: Victor,

I have loved you with an everlasting love

(Jeremiah 31:3)

You don’t outgrow My love. You don’t graduate from being My child. Even when you think you’ve wandered too far, even when your faith feels weak—My arms are still open.

Me: But what about the times I push You away? The moments I get so caught up in life that I forget You?

Jesus: Even then.

📖 “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.”

— 2 Timothy 2:13

Me: So… even as I’m growing older, You’ll always see me as Your child?

Jesus: Always. You may change, but My love doesn’t. You’ll always be safe in My hands. And no matter how far you go, I’ll always be here, whispering, Come home.

Me: I’ll always be a child in Your eyes…

Jesus: And I’ll always be Your Father.

🎵 “Always Be a Child” – Ray Boltz

… I was there when you drew the breath of life

And I could hear your voice

The first time that you cried

And though you couldn’t see me

I was very near

And there’s something now

That I want you to hear…

You will always be a child in my eyes

And when you need some love

My arms are open wide

And even when you’re growing old

I hope you realize

You will always be a child in my eyes…

And I was there the first time that you prayed

And I heard all the promises you made

And when you fell before me

Crying father I have sinned

I picked you up

And held you close again…

And you will always be a child in my eyes

And when you need some love

My arms are open wide

And even when you’re growing old

I hope you realize

You will always be a child in my eyes…

You will always be a child in my eyes

And when you need some love

My arms are open wide

And even when you’re growing old

I hope you realize

You will always be a child in my eyes…

You will always be a child in my eyes
