The two kings, cited below, understood what it means to be a child or God.
O come to me, great Eternity
for a moment to lie down.
Let's be children
on the floor of the museum,
gazing up at the stars upon your crown.
And would you stay to sing to me
a lullaby short and sweet,
that I might understand,
beneath the stillness of your hand,
the peace known at your feet.
::
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their feet.
I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
- Jesus, Matthew 11:25-29
If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
- Jesus, John 14:23
