Receive the kingdom of God like a child.

Luke 18:15-17, And they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. But Jesus called for them, saying, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all.”

I can see this principle at work as I sing and teach three-year olds and younger. They are open to learning everything they can and they want to know more about Jesus as they grow older. Can we see Him with the eyes of faith and trust of a child, to follow Him where He wants us to go?

Take my hand and lead me in the faith of a child, Lord Jesus!
