A Lucky Find

Ellie Grace found a four-leaf clover all by herself last week.

That's pretty impressive, considering she's six and I'm 30 and have yet to find one.

She excitedly brought it to my study and showed me.  

Then, she took one of my books and placed the lucky find inside of it. 

Next, she took a stack of my books and placed the book with her four-leaf clover at the bottom. 

Finally, she's left it there for days.

I like my study neat. 

Books that aren't being used go on these things called book shelves.

While I'm working, it's as if the books are yelling, "Hey, look at us. We aren't on the book shelves." Of course, they have a pompous tone, because books are so smart (what with their pages and all). 

I finally had enough of their smack talk and decided that I would put them away. If the four-leaf clover wasn't dried yet, it would never be dried. 

As I reached for the books, the Holy Spirit spoke to me.

No, not in a whisper. But in a moment of truth.

Four out of the six books are from my seminary days. Three commentaries and a New American Standard Bible, which is the most difficult English translation there is. I have spent a lot of money to have a better understanding of God things. 

But in the middle of those is a toddler Bible. 

There's nothing wrong with studying. There is nothing wrong with investing into resources to help you deepen your understanding. But never forget that God's greatest truths can be understood by a young child.

It's a truth that's a whole lot easier to find than a four-leaf clover. 

Question:

Seriously, can you find four-leaf clovers? What are the greatest truths that even a child understands?
