Security
One of the greatest human needs is a sense of security.
In all aspects of life, we naturally gravitate towards anything that makes us feel safe. When we put ourselves trustingly in His arms we do not have to fear or worry. Little children have that inherent kind of trust in their parents.
My Child
An intimate, up-close-&-personal feeling of the Savior's love.
The only thing that could compare (even remotely) to Christ's compassion for us is the love of a parent for her child.
This image is also intended to put things in perspective. Above all, we are God's children first. He allows us the privilege of experiencing parenthood for ourselves & we are entrusted to be the mothers & fathers of His children here on earth.

Innocence
The Savior tells us we need to become as little children to inherit the kingdom of God. Children are innocent with clean slates, seeing the world & others through untarnished eyes. Their hearts are pure, without the baggage of cynicism & self-doubt. I've tried to imagine how a child would act upon meeting the Master for the first time. Without reservation or inhibition, I think he would simply want to play with Him. He would be at complete ease, allowing his pure little heart to soak in the love & laughter of His pure, infinite heart. Its no wonder Christ delights in these little ones & sets them up to be our examples.
