The force of His words is clear. He does not say merely that the kingdom of heaven is for the childlike. He says that the kingdom belongs to them; it is made up of children and of those who come as children.

Movies and folklore often portray how difficult it is for heroes to see the gods; epic quests, impossible obstacles, and mortal danger await those who try. In contrast, the one, true God wants us to get close to Him. He longs for us to open our minds and hearts to His love.... (www.catholic365.com)
