Faith Like a Child
“EXCEPT YE BECOME AS A LITTLE CHILD, YE SHALL IN NO WISE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!” (MAT.18:3)
It pays to be a little child. In fact, Jesus Himself said, “Suffer the little children to come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Mk.10:14)
We’re to be like little children, loving, sweet, simple believers.–In childlike faith, believing & receiving all that the Lord has for us!
Children are samples of the citizenry of Heaven!–Like little angels dropped from the sky! They’re so fresh from Heaven, they understand & are not the least bit fearful when it comes to the things of the Lord & the Spirit & even spiritual experiences. It is given to children to be rich in faith! Faith just comes natural to them. They are so fresh from Heavenly places that they have faith to believe anything God says, & with them nothing is impossible!
The problem with many grown-ups is that they know too much!–They’ve been educated out of their childlike faith! But there are others of trusting childlike faith who are daily doing things that doubting intellectuals say can’t be done! So be like a little child & anything wonderful can happen!

I absolutely love this picture of the innocence of a child looking up into the face of her Savior. But the way you have spelled “shepard” is not correct…it should be “shepherd”, i.e. a “sheep herder”.
