And [Jesus] said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3
“Three qualities or characteristics stand out very conspicuous in him: truth, faith, and love. Our Lord frequently taught His disciples that childlike spirit is the soul of discipleship , and in the ideal child these three traits are central. Truth is one centre, about which revolve childlike frankness and sincerity, genuineness and simplicity. Faith is another, about which revolve confidence and trust, docility and humility. Love is another centre, around which gather unselfishness and generosity, gentleness and restfulness of spirit. In the typical or perfect child, therefore all these beautiful qualities would coexist, and in proportion as they are found in a disciple, is he [or she] worthy to be called a child of God.”

When we went to the World Series, Gregg Capin and I were talking and we said, that the gift of tickets from God made us feel like little kids. We were so excited.
God wants us all to have childlike faith and trust in Him. That is a posture that is confident in God alone to provide, sustain, and care for all our needs.
When we exhibit such faith, we show we are His children. Would people say that you have childlike faith? Do you appear as one who trusts God for everything?
