The innocence and purity of children has no borders. We may be from different places. We may speak different languages. Yet when we first meet, they run to me without hesitation and surround me in their circle. They are eager to talk to me, to know me, and to make me their friend. We chat and their enthusiasm escalates, and by the time I offer them snacks, they've already happily accepted me as their own, and it's like we've forgotten all our differences.
Such purity and acceptance is like the Kingdom of Heaven - a place filled with people of pure simplicity, with no boundaries held between anyone.
真正的無國界
兒童的天真、純潔,帶來真正的無國界。雖然他們知道你不是他們其中的一個,聽不明白你的言語;也許是第一次見到,又或者心中有一點怕陌生,但當他們聯群結隊走向你,跟你搭訕,他們就會越來越高興、興奮。你請他們吃東西,他們吃得開開心心,就像自己人。
天國就是這樣純潔及親近,天國充滿孩子一樣純真的成年人。
