“But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”
Luke 18:16 KJV
As the disciples scolded the parents bringing babies and little children to Jesus, He summoned His disciples to Him, and clearly instructed them to immediately allow the little ones to freely come to Him and not to hinder them at all - they own God’s Kingdom instinctively! Their minds are not cluttered with religious perceptions of performance related requirements and identity issues - they revel in their innocence and childlike confidence! In fact, this is the very reason why so many struggle to consciously access the dimension of the Kingdom of God - they seem trapped in a religious, ‘adult’ mind of performance and self-doubt, having forgotten what it’s like to live in childlike trust and receive the blessing of the Kingdom as effortlessly as breathing! Let’s accept the Kingdom of God with childlike trust! Jesus gave us newness of life to be childlike not childish and immature! Amen!
