In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
In him was "life", and that life was the "light of men".
The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it.
He was in the world, and though the world was made by him, the world did not recognize him.
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become "THE CHILDREN OF GOD"!
The Gospel of John
chapter 1, verses 1-12
He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

The Gospel of John
chapter 1, verses 1-12
Then God said " Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that
move along the ground."
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them. Genesis 1: 26, 27.
He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18: 1-6
Those who come to the Father in the same way that a child comes to its mother, "are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven".
A child is totally dependant on its mother to take care of its every need.
A child is completely trusting in its mother, for its well being in anything and everything.
That is how one is to come to God.
Those who have a spirit of meekness, and who are willing to humble themselves before God, and to trust Him, in anything and everything, will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Do not forget that all children are born in a sinful world, but they are not counted as corrupt. They are "innocent". That is until they are corrupted by the sins of the adults, wheather it be directly, or indirectly.
All children were created in the image of God, and so were you!
They will all be corrupted by the influence of the god of this world.
But, "WOE" be unto the people who allow themselves to be used as instruments to destroy the innocent children, (those who are created in the image of God Himself) and, "WOE" be to those who participate in the destruction of the "innocense" of the children of God.
Only in Jesus is there power to defeat the god of this world.
The children of this world need "YOU" to protect them from the "Roaring Lion" who is moving to and fro on the earth.(Roaring and "Devouring)
He is devouring the unborn; and the babies; and the young adults; and the old adults. He is using the adults who belong to him to destroy the children who do not belong to him, ( remember, those who are created in the image of God Himself ?)
Peace, JOY, and many Blessings to you and yours,
David McIntire,
