The Warrior is a Child
        by Daniel H. Harris

1) Perhaps ten days ago I heard the Lord say "The Warrior is a Child."
        a) Immediately, I imagined that might be interpreted to mean

        Jesus shows us this in His parables.

        So, to see how we can grow in the spirit, we look at children.
