  TEXT: MATHEW 18:3
  “and said, verily I say unto you unless you are converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven”

MESSAGE
Consistent love for and walk with little children will make us know little about these precious one. What exactly does Jesus mean by stating that we must become as this little children? Simply put, He wants us to have possible attributes of a small child.

However, we aren’t talking about physical attributes such as spilling food all over when eating or the likes of it, but personality characteristics. Though there is no specific passage that details the characteristics of children which we must acquire, and as such we are left to our skills of observation to a certain degree. By observation, we realize that there is no heart as tender as this little one, quick to reconcile and consistent in their believes (oh how much they will keep repeating, 'but my teacher said this my, but my mummy said that!' once it is a belief for them, you have to struggle to influence them.)

Jesus Christ Himself manifests specific qualities of a child,yes, He just doesn't discriminate. A friend and lover of all, no wonder His word in John 1:12,' To those who believe in Him (and that's irrespective of who you are) He gave the power to be sons and daughters... ' Jesus as well gave His all, with a pure heart He died for all, Roman 5:8 and He expects the same from us, even much more.

Action point: learn about this children attitude and even more as you study your Bible today and forever.

PRAYER POINT: I receive the grace to emulate positive qualities of children in my walk of life in order to inherit God’s Kingdom.
