Jesus turned to his friends and kindly said, "No, don't send them away. Let the children come to me." "Whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God as a child does, will not be able to enter into it." Loving God is easy enough for a child to do.

There is one person who will never tell us to go away. In fact, he wants all of us to come close to him. His name is Jesus. ...read more

Heaven’s Definition Of Greatness

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 17, 2015
