Jesus said to His Disciples, "I tell you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it"
Mark 10:15

An open, searching mind, a ready obedient, loving heart: these are the means of progress and perfection in the Father's world. And I, with Our Holy Spirit, am ceaselessly at work in all committed to the Father's will and loving purpose.

Unless the child of man desires and seeks to know the truth about the Father's world, with power and understanding to live and work in faithfulness to that which he discovers, he cannot enter in the Father's Kingdom. And if he does not enter, how can he begin to know the King, or experience the blessings of the Kingdom?

The child receives the father's love in trust and confidence, knowing that all will be well as he continues to obey and do those things the father asks. So does he grow strong and healthy, taking on as he progresses responsibilities for his brothers as the need arises. Problems and pains he encounters, but these he knows are but temporary experiences to be offered to the father's love and resolution.
