Suffer the children and forbid them not to come unto me

Mat 19:14  But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.



Again, little children are mentioned in connection with the kingdom of heaven.



Remember the previous time?



Mat_18:3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.



When something is converted, is it changed?



If I convert a dog house into a storage unit, I'm changing it, right? If I convert a small closet into a large one, I'm changing it, yes? If I convert from one religion to another, I'm changing my religion. Converting means changing.



'To change (something) into another form, substance, state, or product; transform: convert water into ice.'

Jesus said- except we be converted (changed)- except we be changed and that change makes us as little children, we will NOT enter into the kingdom of heaven.



Jesus also said- suffer the little children and forbid them not to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven.



The kingdom of heaven is to be filled with little children and WE must be those little children- converted into the children that will fill the kingdom of heaven. Those who desire to be with Christ. Those who need to be with Christ. Those who would go to Christ eagerly. A child seeking the affection, the security, the comfort, the teaching from a trusted, faithful Christ.  Crawling up onto the lap of Christ, feeling the love of his arms encircling you, giving you the security you need, knowing He will never let you fall. Trusting in Christ to teach you all you need to know. Being loved unconditionally. Giving love to the One who is there to protect you eternally.



Christ Jesus our Savior wants us to be converted, changed to love Him, to trust Him, to depend upon Him as a child would. We are His children.  We are the children of God and we have to fully comprehend this. We are not gods, which too many people believe they are in their own right.  Our Savior wants us to remember we are CHILDREN, forever, HIS CHILDREN, Children of the Kingdom.



I want to be a child of the King.  I want to be converted and become as a little child again for the Kingdom of Heaven. Please Lord, You and You alone can make this possible. You and You alone can make this conversion possible. Please Lord.



In His LOVE, His amazing LOVE.
