"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
As I was playing and wrestling with my son this morning this scripture verse from Matthew 19 came to my mind. "For of such is the kingdom of heaven...." Why would Jesus proclaim such a powerful statement? What do children possess that we as adults have lost? So many thoughts flood my mind as I think about this. Children pursue what they love with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. They're not afraid to express their emotions when things don't go the way they want. They're innocent and pure in heart. They believe in things that we as adults have deemed impossible. They dream and pursue their dream until someone more "experienced" tells them it can't happen. We adults need to sit with the children and learn from them. God wants us to pursue Him like a child would, wants us to express our frustrations, hopes, and dreams with Him, wants us to dream big and never let the impossible defeat us. If we would believe in God like a child we could move mountains, see our dreams come true, and find fulfillment in what truly matters.
