As a Little Child

How does the LORD mean to be as a child in helpless, needy dependence and trust in Him alone? Are all children drawn to the LORD or those that have been given belief in Christ? How were the motives of the parents sometimes at odds with the drawing of their child by God? How do you become a child of God? What are the characteristics of God's children? Why does the flesh think in terms of degrees of glory in heaven? Why did the disciples think that they would be the greatest in heaven? What does it mean to be converted? Can you do anything to be converted or born again? What is it to grow in grace?
