The hardest thing to do in the world is never. Malachi Heckman

And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Greek verb "strephó" primarily means "to turn" or "to change." It is used in various contexts in the New Testament to describe physical turning, such as turning one's body or direction, as well as metaphorical turning, such as changing one's mind or converting spiritually. The term can imply a change of state or condition, often with a focus on repentance or transformation.

So what if we looked at the qualities of a child and asked God to help us turn or change into theses in our spiritual walk… 

What are the top 5 qualities of a child?

Curious: Children have an innate desire to explore and understand the world around them. They constantly ask questions and seek new experiences.

Energetic: Children are naturally active and have a lot of energy. They love to move, play, and explore their surroundings.

Creative: Children have vivid imaginations and enjoy expressing themselves through art, music, and play. They can easily come up with new ideas and ways of doing things.

Emotional: Children experience a wide range of emotions, from joy and excitement to sadness and anger. They are learning to understand and manage their feelings… but they don’t hide their emotions.

Dependent: Children rely on adults for their basic needs, such as food, shelter, and safety. They also need love, support, and guidance to grow and develop.
