3 Nephi 9:22

"Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God.  Behold, for such I have laid down my life, and have taken it up again; therefore repent, and come unto me ye ends of the earth, and be saved."
3 Nephi 9:22


On the children theme again.  God often talks about becoming as a little child.  And, as we talked about before... they are a lot cooler than we sometimes realize.  The thing is, if we can get ourselves to realize that we ARE children... compared to God, we really don't know much, and we really do need his guidance and teachings every day, so that we don't spiritually run out into the street and get hit by the proverbial Mack Truck. :)  If we can stop trusting our own 3-year old logic, assuming that whatever we want is good for us... then we might have an easier time becoming as a little child. :)  God is a pretty good dad, and if we can trust him, and if we listen to what he says... we'll not only be a lot safer and happier, we'll also grow up to be a lot better people... with the power and wisdom to make better decisions and to learn incredible things.
