We are all children of our Almighty God. He is our Father who will always love and care for us. So, as His children, what then is expected of us?
Humility. We must always acknowledge God's greatness and glory. We are nothing actually. But by reason of His love, we are precious to Him. No proof is needed. Although, if only to show that immense love, we are all blessed for having Jesus Christ as Our Lord. We cannot and must not claim that we are greater than Him. Neither should even think that we can be equals with Him. That was the mistake of those who have fallen as a result. There was pride and greed. For us, we have every opportunity to be humble and always depend on the mercy and love of God.
Trust. We are on a journey. We are trekking through uncharted frontiers. The future is always uncertain and unpredictable. We can only be sure of death will come, heaven will embrace us up, hell can devour the rebellious, purgatory is a chance to be purified, and judgment will surely be upon us when the time comes. Thus, there should really be no option but to trust God. He has given His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ who is The Way, The Truth and The Life. We only need to trust Him and in doing so, we follow Christ and the Church He has established.
Obedience. A child obeys. Because of humility and trust, a child follows and obeys. There is an absolute confidence on the part of the child to do what is being asked. The child knows that when he does, his parents will him well. God wants us to be safe, secure, protected and taken cared of.
Prayers. When one prays, that person communicates. Through a prayer, your plea is conveyed to God even if He already knows it before you ask for it. Prayer is your commitment to do good. It is a recognition of your being a human, your mortality, and of your willingness to submit yourself yo God's will.
Be like a child if you wish to follow Jesus.
