". . . Become as little children, . . .
"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father" (Mosiah 2:18-19).
Children are in awe of the world around them. Little children are bundles of joy and do all they can to please, even if they get themselves into mishaps. We should be the like for our Father in Heaven. He loves us. He wants us to be happy and find joy. He tries to teach us things so we don't get hurt and so we can return home safely. But we aren't always willing to submit to his will. I think I could be better at this myself. To be someone who is always willing to obey God and his guidance for me. It would make life so much easier for me to bear sometimes.
