can we be kids again?

​     My lil grand daughter just loves Willie.  She knows he's not real but when I get him out of his case her eyes just light up with excitement.  It's as if her best friend just showed up, she gives him tea, shows him her newest toy and always tells him she loves him.  For that moment, everything revolves around Willie and her.  If I gave her something, she would immediately want to share it with Willie.  
     Jesus loves the little children but why? They will believe, love, forgive, enjoy, use their imagination, not fret, focus, serve, share...just to name a few and they GOT Jesus.  In Mark 10:13-16 is a beautiful example of that.  How much plainer can He make it?  Jesus says that it is possible for me to have a child like faith and believe Him.  If I do, He will take me in His arms and bless me. Question?  When is the last time you had someone offer to take you in their arms and love you without some kind of condition?  So, today Lord, my prayer is to help me go to you and respond as a child.  Better yet...  As your child.
      See, we can be kids again.
