"and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3
Jesus is speaking to His disciples and they, in my opinion, are seeking a place of status in Heaven. The greatest in Heaven is God so why would one need to ask the question. It was pride that got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven and it is pride that needs removed from us.
I asked my grandkids what does it mean to be a little child and the two answers are: fun and love in your heart. A fun loving spirit has a clean conscious, it is free from the worries of life. Children do not have concern for the things of this world for their lives are under the authority of their parents. Jesus as the Son of God is under the authority of His Father. He takes direction and is a good follower. Watching children and their trusting nature is a great life lesson for us. You WILL NOT enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless you become child like.
Let go, grab the Fathers hand and trust in Him, stop worrying. With a strong foundation, our children and us have nothing to be concerned with. All is well.
What is God saying to me? Life is a great teacher and those around you can be good teachers even the smallest of them. Love in your heart comes from me and the innocence of a child.
Dear Father, the joy of watching children explore life and take it all in for what it is, is a treasure. Seeing the simplicity of life through the eyes of a child is fun to watch. They are not seeking position, only contentment in their surroundings, only security in knowing that their parents are not far away. Awaken our perception with the eyes and senses of a child. Help us see the love that You have for us in the life and free will that You give us. Bless this day, bless this country and fill us with Your love. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
