The spirit of a little child is so refreshing. A small child has not been defiled by the harshness of a sinful world. Their innocent minds have not been twisted by hate. Little children are always loving and accepting. A child gives honest responses, perhaps more honest than their moms and dads would like. Oh if we could somehow see through the eyes of a child, to love and trust the way they do.
Jesus loved little children. It is clear that his desire for those who would follow him was and is to have that childlike spirit. In fact Jesus said,“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3 We cannot demonstrate the proper love for Jesus unless we approach him, and accept him with the trusting spirit of a child. We need to be like children in our relationship with Jesus.
