The Little Children and Jesus

My daughter learned and memorized this passage of Scripture when she was four years old and as she recited it tears came to my eyes as I envisioned her in the presence of Jesus.

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

~ Mark 10:13-16
