When Jesus says, "Get out of the gutter and follow me," adults often refuse because it sounds too simple. It is!
Jesus doesn’t require perfection. He requires faith in Him. I suppose that’s why it’s so easy for little children to be saved.

Children are used to depending on others for what they need. Mama and daddy take care of everything, so it’s easy for them to trust Jesus and be saved.
Adults are different. We are conditioned to make our own way in the world. We are taught to stand on our own two feet.
I believe we need a dose of childishness in our lives.
