Why Being Like a Child is the Secret to Blessedness

May you have the heart of a child—

Wild and wonderful and free,

Laughing and loving and learning,

Trusting and yielding and yearning,

Resting and rejoicing and growing,

Crying and hungering and healing,

With ease and simplicity and hope.

“Truly, I say to you,

Unless you turn and become like children,

You will never enter

The kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3, ESV).

The way in isn’t the way of the world—

The riches of the kingdom

Come not to the sophisticates,

But to the toddlers—the ones who stumble

And rely on someone bigger for everything.

May you be more like a little one

So you can experience the biggest blessings.

May God make you like a child,

Just like a child.
