A young child is often sited in the bible as a good example for a person of faith. They love and adore their parents and will bow at their feet in submission if asked. (well maybe not all children) This idea paints a picture for what our heart should be like, regarding our faith and love toward God. Just as people get regular cancer check-ups, we should be monitoring our "heart attitude" toward our loving, heavenly Father!
