Child-like

We are children of God.

13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.-Mark10:13-16

We are all God's children. Once upon a time, we are little kids. We are easily satisfied and contented with what is given to us. Then, we grew up and lost that child-like gift God has blesses us with. Most people want to be the commander and captain of their own lives, and that no one will tell them what to do even God Himself. God is always reaching out to us, telling us to come home to Him. God is encouraging us to once more regain our child-like quality - loving Him, loving others, loving His creation.
