Little Children

~~~

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,

“Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 

He called a little child and had him stand among them. *

~

 Little children will love you…no matter what.

Little children are trusting…their faith is simple…child-like.

Little children are honest…they speak from their heart with the simplest of thoughts.

Little children are dependent…they rely upon the wisdom and caring love of their parents.

~

“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, 

you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  *
