“The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: “Don’t push these children away. Don’t ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.” Then, gathering the children up in his arms, he laid his hands of blessing on them.” - Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬ ‭MSG‬‬

God isn’t impressed with “grown-up faith” that’s overcomplicated, prideful, or guarded. He’s drawn to simple, honest, open faith — the kind children naturally have.

And anybody who gets in the way of someone (especially a child) coming to Jesus?
Jesus takes that personally.
