Matthew 18:1-6
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 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.
Typically, I have the opportunity to lead youth in worship twice a week. However, this week, I have been leading our Vacation Bible School's worship sessions. If anything has struck me, it is the intense humbleness of children.
Children do not care how they sound when they worship; their worship is a worship that originates in their hearts and not in their mouths. When we lead youth services, we keep our amps in a closet at a reasonable volume. At VBS, we have our amps on stage and we keeping finding ourselves reaching for the volume knobs as the children's worship is dwarfing the sound coming from our amps.
I am truly honored to be taught by children.

I know what you mean. I was thinking about writing a similar post tonight I was so moved.
Did you see those kids praying? There were about five or six kids that run up to pray on the steps. I have never seen anything like it.
