Children bring joy to our hearts. I don't know about you. Whenever I see babies or baby animals, my heart melts with smiles. Babies are so adorable. Babies are so cute. Best of all, babies are not pretentious.
If you ever work with children, you know that most children are humble. They are not judgemental. They ask why and want to know the answers all the time. Their minds are like sponges ready to absorb whatever you teach them. And whatever you teach them, they believe. The younger they are, the more they believe what you teach them.
In Matthew 18:3, Jesus said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
How do we become like little children? It's hard, isn't it? My own personal experience is to be humble like little children, like Jesus:
In Philippians 2:7, Jesus "made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men."
On the other hand, what hinders us to be humble like little children? My experience is pride, wealth, power, or social status. It's ironic we spend most of our adult life pursuing these, yet they can potentially prevent us from entering the kingdom of heaven if we are not careful.
