“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. ‘” (Matthew 19:14, NIV)
There is much the disciple of Jesus can learn from a child: Humility, a readiness to learn, and a natural attraction to the One who loves them.
When was the last time you approached the dawning day as young children do: With openness, wonder, enthusiasm, and joy?
When was the last time you approached our Lord as the children, in today’s scripture reading, did: Desiring only to be near Him?
Do not fear or suppress the child within you. “The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” – Luther
