Over the gates of God’s Kingdom could be this sign: “Only Children May Enter!” Stretch your imagination as you write further thoughts about what Jesus says: “I assure you that if you don’t turn your lives around and become like this little child, you will definitely not enter the kingdom of heaven” (18:3).
Think of all the good and wonderful qualities that children have. When they are loved they naturally and spontaneously give back love.
Be like a child whose joy in life bursts with divine love from your Father-God welling up from the center of your heart.
