Be Like Children











Luke 18:16-17

Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not recieve the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.

Jesus loves children. He said, "If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."

By doing this, you're showing that you care about people, even little children, who a lot of people look down on, and think that they are not important. But Jesus wants us to love them, and to be like them, rather than a mighty person.


Jesus wants us to be humble, and gentle, and obedient like a child. Children don't go around thinking they're better than other people. Because they're small and meek. Jesus would like us to be that way.


When a child is told to do something by their parents, they usually do it because they have no authority over an adult, and they must do it. In the same way, we should be obedient to God, because He is our authority figure, and we love him and do what He tells us to do, and trust Him that He knows what is best.

When you were a child and your parents told you not to touch fire, you had to trust them to know that they were right in telling you this. So,
when God tells us to do something, we should believe Him so much more, and know that His rules and His ways are right, and to protect us and keep us safe.

Children love to learn, because it makes them happy to know something new. But when we get old we sometimes feel like we know everything and we're proud and don't want to learn more. Children want to know God, and know more about Him. Children, most of them lol, are pure and loving, and want to do what is right, and want people to respect them. We should want to have a relationship with God too, we're never too old.

Get on your knees and humble yourself to our Lord, and understand that He loves you. You are His child, and He watches over you and wants what is best for you too.
