\"\"<\/p>\n

People come and people go, from all around the world<\/h6>\n
They live their lives, in desperation, with great heartache and hidden sorrow\u2026<\/h6>\n
Some with integrity, some, not having a clue<\/h6>\n
How, or where, or what, they were put on this earth to do.<\/h6>\n
They look to their own imagination; never seeing who, they should look too\u2026<\/h6>\n
A simple plan is all it takes for anyone to understand\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus said, \u201cbecome like a little child.\u201d<\/h6>\n
Come on, take me by the hand.<\/h6>\n
Little children carefree and strong, run along in the Kingdom of God~<\/h6>\n
In heaven and here on earth. A childlike spirit is truly worth<\/h6>\n
More than any material gain.<\/h6>\n
There\u2019s a little child in each of us, but many have lost their way<\/h6>\n
You\u2019ve forgotten how to look at the butterfly, or dance in the rain,<\/h6>\n
To sing twinkle, twinkle, little star.<\/h6>\n
Oh please, come out and play, you\u2019ve come this far\u2026<\/h6>\n
Restore the little child inside. Climb trees and skip, rope.<\/h6>\n
Seek what\u2019s lost, and do not hide,<\/h6>\n
While living, there\u2019s always hope\u2026<\/h6>\n
Stand on the sea shore\u2026<\/h6>\n
Watch the waves come and go,<\/h6>\n
Build sandcastles in the sand\u2026<\/h6>\n
And when you\u2019re old and remembering\u2026<\/h6>\n
How life was hard and cold\u2026<\/h6>\n
Take the hand of a little child and never, ever, let go~<\/h6>\n

Matthew 18:3-5 The Message<\/em><\/h6>\n
2-5\u00a0<\/sup><\/em>For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, \u201cI\u2019m telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you\u2019re not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God\u2019s kingdom. What\u2019s more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it\u2019s the same as receiving me.<\/em><\/h6>\n
