bible verse about children like arrows in a quiver

So too must we be childlike when we enter God’s presence. He said that if we don’t “receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” What does this mean? Children are teachable, pliable, humble, and have great faith.

Jesus absolutely adored children and rebuked the disciples when they tried to keep them from Him. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. Receive the Kingdom like Children Luke 18:15-17 “Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. We try and aim them in the right direction but just as the archer has to release the arrow from the bow, parents must release their children in the proper time and recognize that ultimately, children are “from the Lord” and to Him they belong. These precious little ones are ours for a time before they are released like arrows from the archer. To me, this verse says that children are not a right to have but a gift from God.
