People were bringing little children to Jesus in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it." And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.
Sometimes we need permission, or at least reminders, to be like a child. Children have a different way of looking at the world. As adults, our minds become so complex it is healthy to step back and let the innocence and uninhibited passions of the child within us shine. When life changes in unexpected ways – that alter the reality we know – looking at things as a child can widen our perspective on life.
I wonder how does a child receive the kingdom of God?
