Jesus said: “I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.” Matthew 18:3-4 GNT

A young child cannot do everything that grown-ups can. He is dependent upon the help of adults and naturally looks to them for help. And he thinks it just as natural that grown-ups send him here and there. He does what he is told. He accepts correction and discipline readily. Whoever is like a child in his relationship with God will experience what the Father in heaven has promised to the small and helpless: His loving care, His help, His miracles.
