Let the little children come to Me says, God.
If you grew up listening to people teach that God is lost up in the mountains and you have to go THERE to catch a TINY GLIMPSE of Him you are in for a surprise.
God is closer to you than you know. He shaped and formed you EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN. You are not a combo of genes. You are a precious creation of a Mighty God.
I don't understand those who choose to send people on all the wrong directions. Eg. Go on top of a mountain, chant a few words, keep a strict fast, get as many good deeds on your side then you MAY or MAY NOT enter God's realm. How cruel?
If our father and mother are kept this far away from us, would we survive a day? And if you are a parent yourself would you tell your children that they have to pierce themselves with sharp objects JUST SO they can come close to you? Or roll around on hard floors to appease your anger? Are you so hardened?
If you as a human being can be so gentle to your children, how so much is God? He sees you. He listens to you. He prays for you.
Unless you become like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of God. That is, all you need is - Belief. A little child sees his mother or father with absolute trust. And no matter what they say he sees it as truth. That is the mindset God wants you to have to accept Him as He draws near to you.
If you have read this far, I think we can go on to the prayer that can just change your life from a nobody to God's child.

Father,
I am a sinner. I need you. I accept your son Jesus as my personal lord and saviour. He is my redeemer and by His stripes, I am healed. I thank you, Father, for hearing me and saving me.
