“I assure you that unless you change and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.” How we wish that we could be children again with no cares in the world! But, what Jesus meant by being child-like is someone who is not proud and worldly, someone who is accepting of other people, someone who loves unconditionally.

That was what we are when we were born. Unfortunately, as we age, we become so jaded with life that we forget the reason for our creation. Living a Christ-like life is like being a child again, the key to the kingdom of heaven.

Let our prayer be: “Lord, help me to be child-like and Christ-like in my way of life.”
