Kingdom of children


After Luke 18:15-17

It is the kingdom of children,
the kingdom of awe and wonder,
of innocence and trust,
the kingdom where the hearing
is the knowing, as words travel
from voice to ear to heart, and
the truth is heard and
recognized as soon as it’s spoken.
Such are the hearts, 
such are the souls,
who reside in the kingdom
of children, the kingdom
received by the children.

I love it. And the best part is that it need not be only those considered children by their age, but even those who have the faith of a child can be part of that kingdom. We have Jesus' word on that. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
