God wants every child of tender age to be His child, to be adopted into His family. Young though they may be, the youth may be members of the household of faith and have a most precious experience. They may have hearts that are tender and ready to receive impressions that will be lasting. They may have their hearts drawn out in confidence and love for Jesus, and live for the Saviour. Christ will make them little missionaries. The whole current of their thought may be changed, so that sin will not appear a thing to be enjoyed, but to be shunned and hated. {CT 169.2}

Gud ønsker at ethvert barn i den sarte alder skal være Hans børn, der optages i Hans familie. Uanset hvor unge de måtte være, kan de selv være medlemmer af troens husholdning have den dyrebareste erfaring. De kan få hjerter som er ømme og parate til at modetage indtryk som vil være varige. De kan få deres hjerter draget i tillid og kærlighed for Jesus, og leve for Frelseren. Kristus vil gøre dem til små missionære. Hele deres tankebane må ændres, så at synden ikke ser ud som noget der nydes, men afskys og hades.
