"Matthew 18:1-5 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.”


How wonderful, isn't it, how God sees us like a child coming to the Father.

A child humbly trusts His father, and follows the Father with obedience to his words,
and commands. A child has faith in the Father, and waits on the Father to respond.
A child feels safe and sound in the father's arms, knowing, they can come to the father, whenever, knowing the Father is always there for them, and only wants what is good for the child. A child feels the love the Father has for his child, therefore, in turn, tries to please the Father, in doing what is right in his Father's eyes.

We have the greatest Father in Heaven, for God didn't spare His only begotten Son Jesus, but sent Him to die in our place for the sins of the world, because He loves All His children. What a loving act, of a Father, who didn't even spare His own Son, but sent Jesus to die on the cross, for all His children, who willing accept the sacrifice of His beloved Son. There is no greater love than to lay your life down for another.

God Bless,
