As a Little Child

        A little over a year ago, I was photographing a friends wedding.  As I went to take pictrues of the cake, I spotted this adorable little girl, standing against this cabinet.  Her eyes amazed me.  I didn't touch this picture with photoshop.  Her sweet, innocent blue eyes were so pure, and so delicate, I had to capture a picture of her.  As soon as I snapped the first picture, she began to smile.  What a sweet face!  She then got embarrassed and hid behind her grandmother before I could take another picture.



Every time I see this picture, my heart just melts.  I'm reminded of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  He truly loved children.  Christ taught His disciples about the Faith and Submissiveness of innocent and pure children. 

"Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 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.  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
(Matthew 18:3-4)

As we turn to the Lord and become more Christlike, we literally become His Children.  When we are humble with undoubting faith, we are the children of His Holy Kingdom.
