The Kingdom Of God Is For Those Who Are Like Little Children
 
Jesus Christ wants Christians to be humble like children. Humility brings a lot of blessings. You would be blessed and exalted for being humble. Jesus even humbled himself. Why will the Pastor or you not also humble yourself?

"And said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little*children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!" (Matthew 18:3).

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

When I look at this verse, it kinda says mature adults are too childish to enter heaven. What is it about earthly maturity within our society that keeps the pearly gates locked!

Should we make a list?!!!:tongue: #1 Fear
#2 Guilt
#3 Pride
And all that follow after those. (Such as jealousy, low self esteem, anxiety and worry, hatred, spite, indignation,
greed, shame, unforgiveness - all come from those 3.)

Love bade me welcome
Yet my soul drew back.
