Mark 10:14

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.

Being a child is such a simple life. A child does not question where the next meal will come from or about clothes, but trusts and just knows his parents will provide for them. Your father calls and you come. This should be the same with our Father in Heaven. Notice all the children around Jesus in the picture. This is the simplicity in which we must come to Jesus. When He calls, we must come. We must trust that He will take care of us and not worry. Have faith in Jesus just as a child has in his own biological father. That is child-like faith that our Father wants from us! That is why He did not deny the little children to come to Him as well. The Kingdom of God belongs to those with child-like faith. That includes us, if we come to Him as a child.

Do not deny the children to come to Him! Have the faith of a child and you can come to Him, too!!
