Matthew 18:2 Jesus says that we must "become as little children" in order to enter the kingdom of God. The context of Jesus' statement is the disciples' question, "Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" In response, Jesus called a little child to him, and He said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.In essence what are we striving for?A child is innocent.A child is enthusiastic.A child is confident.A child is trusting.A child believes without complication.A child receives with joy.A child is humble.A child is content in the little things.A child has the faith to move mountains.A child is awed by majestic splendor.A child takes to heart God's Word in all its simplicity.
