He Teaches You
He’s greater far, that little child, than you; The very child you teach, he teaches you. You teach him to be Christlike, but have you Forgotten he already is, far more than you? You teach him right from wrong, and yet it’s he, Not you, whose conscience is more clear and free. You teach him trust in God, but can’t you see That it is you who lack trust more than he? For you find doubt and reason in your way While he in simple faith believes straightway. You teach him to forgive, but don’t you know That he forgives in half the time you do? And he, when he forgives, at once forgets; But you? You struggle long with grudge and debts. You try to teach him love. You can’t. You cry, “My child, you are the teacher, and not I!” So learn from him, be like him, you who teach. You must, Christ says, if heaven you would reach.Ida Boyer Bontrager
Luke 18:16-17 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
