This piece is a reflection on striving for a childlike confidence in God. Here a child takes its first steps to Jesus, keeping its eyes on Him and walking with confidence. The olive tree represents peace, prosperity, beauty and the relationship between God and his people, particularly as our Father. The sheep are those who rest peacefully under his care.

“Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3-4
