Truth from a 3 year old

The wisdom of 3 year old is just something. Its amazing as adults, we sometimes do not say the truth out of fear that someone isn’t going like us or the fear that we will hurt someone’s feelings. A 3 year old doesn’t have this fear. My son recently offended Buddhism…how? While mommy was packing to move, I took him with me to A Chinese restaurant, for some take-out…and whilst in the restaurant, he pointed his finger and asked me what “that” was…”that” was a statue of Buddha”, I replied to him and he in a very serious response said, “ Oh…he has boobies.” He said this in a loud voice that every Buddhist in the room could hear, easily offending their religion. This got me thinking…did he really offend that religion? Now while he’s 3 and not really able to understand the concept of “speaking truth in love”, my son was simply stating what he saw. We live in a world full of “religions” and I don’t believe in a religion because, speaking for myself, I don’t believe that their in any hope or peace or joy in any religion. For me all hope, peace, and joy come from one thing…Jesus. And he didn’t teach about religion, He taught about a relationship. Jesus never feared as His Father, our Father, in Heaven never feared on speaking the truth in love…so why do we, why do I? The truth is that there is only one truth and that is God’s truth and everything else is wrong…it’s a fact, not a belief. In a world that’s so corrupted and immoral and think its time for me to not only speak but live that truth in love, no matter the cost. The wisdom from a 3 y.o. can really be an eye opener.
