Becoming Like Little Children
"He called a little child and put him in their midst and said:" I say unto you, Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. '"Matthew 18:2 - 3
There are several stories told about the Lord Jesus and small child. God teaches His people something extraordinary things that can be seen from a child.
Let us see what positive things can be seen from a child :
- Plain; not been tainted by negative thoughts
- Forgiving; quick to forgive if it runs out fights with other children
- Bold; do not think the danger is going to happen because he knows there are parents
- Full trust to his parents
- Always look forward to his parents
- Fully dependent to their parents
- Never stop asking for something to his parents
- Never worry about the future
- Happy to be near his parents
- To be honest; say things as they are the parents
And much more can we learn from a child.

In order to understand the will of God, we must learn to become like little children. It is not easy to obey every command of God. The tendency of adults are more concerned with their own logic, knowledge, or even his personal ego. Not an easy thing for us to be quick to forgive others if we had an argument. But if we see a small child, they can quickly forgive his friend and then playing it back, as if it had never fought before.
Being like a child that does not mean we become childish, but we will learn a positive attitude they have. Attitude like that is the attitude that God wants when we walk with Him. God wants our innocence, there is nothing that needs to be covered up. God wants us to look at him like a child to his parents. Trust and depend entirely to God.
When we choose to learn to become like little children, our lives will be changed. We will easily understand what the plan and will of God in us. And the kingdom of heaven has been prepared for us to be obedient and faithful to Him.

Thank you for this article. Want to apologize and let go of ego, it becomes the beginning I had to do.
a nice little boy mmng Because he was always confident and believe me if org parents are always there for him and be able to replenish all of which he needs .. so should we in God's love and ill never doubted its shares within our lives .. tp I sometimes doubt what God is still willing to hear the prayer of supplication Because of our sin may have been too many and do not deserve thanks to the grace of God ...
