“Is there anything sweeter, more pure, or more humble than a
child at prayer? It is as if heaven is in the room. God and Christ are so real,
but for others later on, the experience can become more superficial. As Elder
Richard L. Evans quoted: ‘Many of us profess to be Christians, yet we don’t
take Him seriously. We respect Him, but don’t follow Him. We quote His sayings,
but don’t live by them. We admire Him, but don’t worship Him.’ How different
life could be if the world esteemed Jesus above the level of a profane swearing
streak from time to time. But children really do love Him, and that love can
carry over into their other relationships in the playground of life. As a rule,
even in their youngest years, children love so easily, they forgive so readily,
they laugh so delightfully that even the coldest, hardest heart can melt.” – President
Jeffrey R. Holland
