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).

Yes, So does wonder, openness, innocence, playfulness, lightheartedness and purity!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

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!

That is precisely the point that I think Lord Jesus was making

Should we make a list?!!! #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.
