Learning from little children:

“What is it we should learn from children? What qualities do they possess and what examples do they demonstrate that can help us in our own spiritual development?

“These precious children of God come to us with believing hearts. They are full of faith and receptive to feelings of the Spirit. They exemplify humility, obedience, and love. They are often the first to love and the first to forgive.”

Jean A. Stevens

Matthew 18:4
“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

@Musicman And sometimes...just sometimes....they grow up to be GOOD adults with childlike qualities, humility, and the ability to obey.

I missed the boat on that last one...🤣🤣🤣

Call some random number in your contacts and ask you can eat dinner at their house.
Kids do that kind of shit and think nothing of it.

@4meAndyou Children are innocent and a gift from God and without sin

@Midlifemale VERY true. And if we want to go to heaven, according to Jesus, we will have to BECOME like little children. Loving, forgiving, accepting, and obedient.
They can teach us so much.

@Sojournersoul First to love, and first to forgive...attributes I associate with God...and I wonder if that is because they have much more recently BEEN with God.
