There are racist and sexist people in the world.
They don't like people who are different from themselves,
and some people despise or bully young children.
However, Jesus says he loves children and people of all races.

Some adults always treat children as unimportant, troublesome, and ignorant, therefore, they always take the children away on important occasions. The Bible has a specific story that tells us Jesus liked to be with the children, and he even told the adults that they must have the qualities of a child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus prayed for the adults and also the children when he laid hands on them.

Adults that are smart and love children will bring the children to Jesus. When Jesus lays hands on them and prays for them, they receive His blessings and healing because Jesus is a powerful God! Jesus loves all children. Instead of looking down on them, he wants the adults to learn from the qualities of children. I will protect the good qualities in myself so that I can receive God's favor and love. Instead of following other people and becoming stubborn and cold, I will keep my good qualities as I grow up.
