That is, there is a straightforward honesty about their feelings and needs. This humility makes childlike awe and engagement in life possible. It is a vulnerable, humble thing to be a child. Children get tired and need naps. Children need other people.

Jesus invites us to change and become like little children. It is an invitation to true humility which leads to spontaneity, curiosity and engagement in life. Lord, I want to reclaim the wonder and delight of childhood. I want to be eager to learn again. I want to be ready to love and be loved again.
