Children Quote by Aiden Wilson Tozer
“May not the inadequacy of much of our spiritual experience be traced back to our habit of skipping through the corridors of the Kingdom like children in the market place, chattering about everything, but pausing to learn the value of nothing.”
About This Quote
Source Sermon: The Kingdom of God, 1915
Spiritual depth is lost when we treat sacred experiences casually, like children in a market, without pausing to appreciate emptiness.
In simple terms: Treat spiritual moments with reverence, not chatter.
Pause and reflect on the void to find meaning.
