We are told that Christ loved children and welcomed them to come toHim.
Obviously, the children were not afraid of Him and wanted to be in His company.
This is a sign of their innocence and His love for them.
Being Childlike is not easy, especially as one grows older and less wiser.
We may boast of the innocence of our young days and yet we have to deal with many weaknesses that have gotten in the way of retaining this state of innocence.
A Childlike person is one who is positive-minded and able and willing to accept others, just as they are, warts and all.
This is a great way to be free. As we accept others, so also we learn to accept ourselves.
A Child is like an open book. There is no need to be different to what they are.
That means that the adult who becomes Childlike will also be content with who they are.
Innocent and without guile / Childlike!
