How a society treats children is the evidence of how much common grace is left. Thats why Christ say suffer the little children to come unto me for such is the kingdom of God. Gods desire is for the helpless and the needy. And the children are held up as the example of the kind of attitude of a new convert. Because the kind of attitude children display in that innocent trust is what is needed for us to possess in order for us to be humble enough to accept God at His word. We are like little children in our dependence on the Father. We are to cry Abba, Father or daddy , daddy. In a child s world is a lack of the knowledge of sin, and a harmlessness in relation to committing sin like a dove. It is as we become adults that we experience the majority of declining in our child like trust because we remember that we remember ourselves in the equation of salvation. And it is looking at the child like trust in which he has no worries about what daddy will do because the child does not believe there is anything out there that can overpower daddy. A child displays in a good way blind trust. The only object that is foremost in the mind of a child is pleasing daddy. Children do not need to be worried about their needs being met because in their little world they do not experience a work reward system. They are totally dependent on daddy bringing in the food, so they are not selfishly worried about the provision. They really depend on daddy for their needs. Gods ways are these ways for all of us.
