But Yeshua said to the, "Let the children come to me and do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these." ~ Matthew 19:14
And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matthew 18:3
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." ~ Mark 10:15
When I think about a child, I am reminded of their innocence. Their vulnerability to love unconditionally. Their ability to forgive their offenders quickly and easily - they are merciful. Their care-free attitude in displaying affection - they are compassionate. They find joy in the smallest things - they are content. Their perception of people is without judgment. They know how to express themselves - they speak with sincerity of heart.
