"People were binging their little children to HIM to have HIM touch them; and the disciples rebuked them for this.
When JESUS noticed it, HE was very angry and said, 'Let the children come to ME and don't stop them, for the kingdom of GOD belongs to such as these. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of GOD like a child will not enter it.' Then HE took the children in HIS arms and, laying HIS hands on them, blessed them." - Mark 10:13-16
(JESUS, despite having no children of HIS own, opens to everyone the richness of HIS heart. HE marvels at the mystery of life that begins full of hope, and discovers the likeness of the FATHER in every unknown child. How could JESUS, who asks us to have hope, forget that the children are also our hope?
Whoever does not receive the kingdom of GOD like a child. We must be like children in order to enter the kingdom of GOD. We must forget our wisdom and self-sufficiency, and the bitterness of past experience in order to receive GOD's gifts and words in wonder and simplicity.)
