Let the Children Come to Me

“And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.” – Mark 10:13-16 (ESV)

When we seek the Kingdom of Heaven, it’s important to remember that we need to do so with the heart and spirit of a child; teachable, humble, without pride or arrogance, and open to the guidance of our Creator.  As little children look to their earthly parents for comfort, security and love, so must we look to our Heavenly Father in the same manner.
