Therefore, whoever humbles himself like one of these children is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. When we are children there's a part of us that is open to love, and faith and trust. Through a little child's laughter and teary eyes we grow older and that part of us dies.
Innocence lost, is so hard to regain.
We get forgiven but hold on to the pain. It's so hard to open ourselves up to others, we're afraid to trust our own sisters and brothers. But there is a love so costly and dear, a love strong enough to cast out fear. Let's take off our masks and drop the facade and live like the children of the Living God. There's a holy laughter, and tears so pure, there's an innocence that will always endure.
