The scriptures contain many references to children, so instead of my usual captioning, I found a few scriptures which speak of our "little ones".
"...and he [Jesus] took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them... And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones." (3 Nephi 17:21, 23)
"Now this is not all; little children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned." (Alma 32:23)
"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." (Mosiah 3:19)
"And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them... Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me." (Matthew 18:2, 4-5)
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." (Matthew 5:9)
