Unless you accept God's kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you'll never get in.
Mark 10:15, The Message
"Christian faith is not neurotic dependency but childlike trust. ... We do not cling to God desperately out of fear and the panic of insecurity. We come to him freely in faith and love.
Our Lord gave us the picture of the child as a model for Christian faith not because of the child's helplessness but because of the child's willingness to be led, to be taught, and to be blessed."
A Long Obedience
